The Queer Coupls that Justice Endres

Justice L. D. Endres was at loss yester-
day about the exact form TO make two
souls with but a single tholght happy, but
be managed 70 link Jesse Walton and Anna
Lloyd together in marital tie that will hold
taut barring divorces and death.
The Judge is moving his Office from down
town 70 No l22 Bryan stree, and had sent
his law library Up town when a colo-ed
with a license and wanted 10 he married
right away. The Justice sent over to Justice
Pollard to borrow the form-book from
F0liIards library, but as Justice Pollard
was defeated a. the last election, he had re-
moved his books % his residence. 1t was
then that Justice EnGres concluded he
would depend on his memory. The bride
groom wanted 10 keep his nat on, Quaker
fashion, but the court, with a frOwn. babe
him uncover. The tall rawboned figure
slowly took of the hat, and reaching down
hung it on top Of the open door. To the in
Junction 10 Join hands the groom grabbed
the brides left hand with his right, and
when corrected let 90 Of her left hand. and
taking her left arm in one hand took the
right with the other.
The groom ans wered the questions all right
but the bride had 10 be told a second time 70

she would obey" after which the court
drew on the catechism, the Lords PRAYER,
the doXolOgy and the statutes Of Georgia in
an original form Of marriage, which made
the ceremony, from legal stand point, rock
ribbed and copper-bottomet. and the twain
were one.
After the ceremony was over the bride
turned 70 her husband and said: "Now

The court gave Walton to understand
that one warrant would be sufficient, and it

THE ATLANTA HOME.
Annual Meeting of an Excellent Local
Institution.


Institution.
The annual meeting Of the Atlanta Home
Insurance Company, one of the solid and
growing institutions Of this city, and one in
which the people feel more than ordinary
interest, was held yesterday at the new and
commodious quarters, corner of Alabama
and Broad streets.
The statement Of the company's business
for the year 1888 was handed in, and con-
tains many interesting features.
The total income footed mp $S7, ga IS, and
the total disbursements for the year
amounted to $67, 057 G5. In cash premiums
$64, 55S Al was received. The notes re-
ceived for premiums aggregated S3,743 90,
and the interest taken in summed uD SIS
O36 "a.
The losses paid were $18,943 Il, and the
dividends paid reached the handsome figure
of SIS, 900; 1852 10 was paid in dividends to
policy holders. The total expenses, includ-
ing fees, commissions to agents, etc, footed
up $2l 40 36, and there was paid for rein
surance the sum of S. 999 80.
The total assets are S254, 83l 16, Of which
$3.50, POS is represented by loans on real es-
tate SCI, 955 in stocks and bonds, and S23,-
139 25 cash on hand and in bank.
As compared with tne receipts for 1887,
the premium receipts show falling off of
$1,000, which is due to a discontinuance Of
Of country dwelling business. The losses
sustained were less than for the year 1887
by s., 657 rs.
The report says that there has been q
marked increase OF losses in small towns,
several Of which have borne unmistakable
signs Of lncendiarism. 1t says further:
That the fire rate of the country is iucreas-
ing yearly and that Instead of enactng
laws to increase the burden of insurance
companies. legislation should cooperate
with the companies to prevent incendiarism
aud thus save many thousands Of dollars in
ar ultimate reduction of rates of premium
paid by the people. The defective hue is
also stated to be a fruitful source of less to
Insurance companies.
The company's profits for 1883 were s32,-
SOP 70, out of which two semi-annual divi-
bends Of 3 per cent. each paid to stock
holders, amounted in the aggregate to
S20,000-and S3,OS3 IS has been carried to
the reinsurance reserve, leaving a net sur
plus for the year of 50 4l9 2l-from which a
dividend Of 10 per cent. on premium OF
annual policies has been declared, payable
twelve months after date.
The Atlanta Home Insurance COMPANY is
managed by able and excellent gentlemen:
the zeal and efficiency of the office force is
creditable, and the general interest of the
stockholders and patrons is most commend
able.

Gambling Dens in Washington.


The police here claim that there is not a
single gambling den in the city Of Wash
ington. This is probably statement of
fact. for when the Westinghouse wishes to
daily with the tiger nowadays he takes
ferry boat and HES him away to Alexau-
dria, just across the Potomac, on the Vir-
ginia snore, where be will find gambler,
and gambling in all forms. All of the noted
gambling places Of the capital are closed,
and probably will be for some time
TO come; but those VINO are fond
favorite game. Poker has taken the place
of faro, and if the walls Ct some rooms il
the fashionable hotels could tell a story,
there would be a series of sensations which
wound shake 10 more than ono community
outside Of Washington. I hear that not
more than a week ago there was poke
game going on in hotel on Fifteenth street
which dazzled even those Nho were in the
habit Of skiing a few thousands in the
course Of an evening. At the close Of this
particular game an ex-senator from a
southern state buttonod his overc0at over
s23, 900 in cash and some checks ami
promissory notes FOR a lesser amount
In all, his winnings represented about
$4,000.
This incident calls to mind the peculiar
antics Of an a7ed lady living in the fash
4CuGDlo W est Emu, WHOSE mousse IS Oue resort
of some of the wealthest of the young
sports mere, as well as that of some others.
Poker is played here nightly and the 'old
party" invariably takes a hand. There
never has beea any suspicion that the
hostess resorts TO any but fair means to get
the advantage, but it is quite noticeable
that her winnings have been considerable
and are not due to her superior
playing. Her method is very
simple one. she does not pay her gam
bling debts and her guests have never
troubled her for them. Sac never invites
the different sets of gentlemen to her house
on the same evening Tn ]se who can afford
to play for high stakes come one evening
those who want a medium game come
another, and the remainder OF her friends
who only lightly indulge, are to be found
there on another occasion. There are some
queer people in this world aud every one
doesA'J have to work hard for living.

Florida and Western Railway Company's

afterward, when Supt. Dewey, who had
charge OF the work, returned for the bale

and he sent two of his men to look for it,
When they got o an opening they padded
under the wharf and found two negroes in
boats disseciug the bale and packing tho
cotton away in bags Of ticking aud sail
cloth and under the seats of the boats
Instead Of capturing the negros the bale
hunters returned to Mr. Dewey aud re-
ported what they mad seen. Tho thieves
found out that they were discovered and
padded out from under the wharf into the
open river oue going down trerlv and the
other across. Mr.. Dewey sent George Clark
with a crew TO catch { en- and they chased
the negro who was padding across to the
other side. Mr. Clark shouted to HIM TO
stop, but the thief replied, Not now boss
walt till git to de marsh
MIR. Clark's boat was gaining on him 50
fast that when he nearet the marsh the
thief jumped out OF MS boat abandoning it,
