A MOoted Resolution.

The following special has been
sent out from Atlanta:
There is a good deal of talk in
political circles about a resolution
said to have been passed the morn
ing that the Alliance convention
adjourned. The gist of the resolu-
ton was, it is said, that it be de-
manded Of the Alliance Represen.
tatives in the Legislature thai
they vote for no man, for any office,
unless he Internationally indorse
the sub>treasury.
No such resolution was passed.
The only action taken on this line
was the unanimous Endorsement Of
the subotreasury, by the adoption
OF the St. Louis platform.
That may be construed in va
rious ways by the outsider in refer,
ence to the obligation it imposes
urOn Alliance members of the Leg
islature.
The extreme construction in the
form of the resolution said to have
been passed was given by no less
an authority THAI Livingston him
self.
But Livingston is il terested.
AS a matter of TACT and record,
no such resolution was passed.

Rev. A. NJ. Williams the Probable

The following, from the Columo

with much interest by the many
friends here of Rev. a. NJ. VIII

pastor Of the Dawson Methodist
church:
1t is understood | that the Yves,
leyan Christian Advocate of Mas
con, church paper OF wide inhu-
ence, is casting about tor a suita,
hle editor, and it has reached the
ears Of the Enquirer-Sun that
among the prominent divines who
are being considered with the
responsible Office is Rev. A. NJ.
Williams, the very successful and
highly esteemed pastor of St. Luke
Methodist church Of this city, II
this be true, aud without any
knowledge OF Mr.. Williams views
on the matter, we venture the
opinion that the Wesleyan Ad.
nocate is on track Of the right man.
Mr.. Williams is an aNle theoiogian,
a clear thinker, a ripe scholar, a
strong, fluent writer. Ii the new
work We're congenial to his tastes
ne wouId 80 to it well equipped.
However, it is a matter upon which
we may not trespass with propriety
and we have only referred to it in
passing way TO ay JUST tribute tc
Il worthy man and citizen. The chief
objection to the proposition, il Mr..
Williams should be invited to the
editorial chair of the Wesleyan
Advocate, is that his church and
the people of Columbus would be
unwilling to give him up.

GeoraIa's PopnLntion.

In the current slang of the day,
the state of Georgia "hasn't gone
anywhere to stay In the census
OF 1880 she stood fourth in popuIa-
ton. The preliminary census re
ports for 1890 show that the state
now stands third, having passed
Tennessee.
These reports show that Georgia
has made greater gains in popula-
ton than either Alabama or Ten
nessee, and these gains have been
made in spite OF the booms in the
iron regions of those states. There
have been no special boom5 ia
Georgia, and no special develop
ment in her mineral deposits. As
a matter Of fact, the greater part
Of Georgia's mineral wealth is still
undeveloped. The day for this
will come later, waen investors
discover the rare quality and guam,
tity OF her ore deposits.
The development that Georgia
has been enjoying during the past
ten years has been agricultural as
well as industrial.

tolls. lie thea tried to get out of
the car, but was not permitted TO
do 50 by the passengers, who held
the doors shut.

quiet him, but he was evidently a
raving maniac. He kicked the
glass out of nearly every window
in the coach, cutting his hands and
decorating his legs in most norris
bic manner and severing an artery
above the aakle.
Bleeding protusely from every
cash, he had soon lost so much
blood that he fell upon one of the

his relief, but death had come be-
fore the doctor could reach him.
His friends who were with him

A Bit of History.

From what did Hardmoney take
its name?
Mr.. Jerry Bell says from the
postoffice established there on its
first settlement, during VanBu-
ren's administration in 1887. At
that time the sub treasury bill was
before the people of the country,
and the circulation of specie 6as
the common talk of the people.
Mr.. Bell was postmaster and the
real name of the place then, as now,
was Weston, as it was situated on
Weston Cross Roads. but the name
of the postofiice was Hardmoney.
But more singular was the name
OF Box Ankle, now Richland which
took its name from drunken fel.
low being thrown in a box and
having his ankle broken. 1t is a
velitable fact that the name arose
from that circumstance.

81. PETERSBURG, Special.-Horrible scenes
are reported as having occurred during the
burning Of Tomsk, the capital of Western
Siberia. The place was visited simulta-
neously by q confederation and q cyclone,
the result of the combined disasters being
The destruction of three-quarters OF the
buildings, which were of wood, and the
loss Of hundreds of lives. The cathedral,
situated in High Town, is in ashes. The
walls Of the ediice in falling crushed an
adjacent hospital, burying the inmates, who
were subsequently roasted alive. The gar
rison brutally refused to render the least
assistance in saving lives and property. on
The plea that they had enough to
do to- protect the barracks and other
government buildings. They also added
that they had no time to assist worthless
exiles." The panic-stricken mob of suffer-
ers huddled together in the streets, and,
firmly believing that the end Of the world
had come, abandoned themselves to stolid
despair. Much of the suffering might have
been averted had there been the slightest
attempt at organized relief. AS if fire and
water were not capable of inflicting misery
enough to the unfortunate outcasts, the
storm was followed by a sudden fall in the
temperature, and 500 the devastated city
was buried beneath a mantle of snow that
added stinging cold to the sutferings Of the
thousands Of shelterless men, women and
children.

The Grandson OF a Former Mexican
Emperor Gets Himself Into Trou-
BILE.
Cry OF Mexico, SPECIALIZATION papers
are giving undue Importance to the Ytur-
bide incident. Yturbide is q young mama
grandson of the emperorof the same name,
and is now a second lieutenant in a cavalry
regiment, with no official standing, though
he has some money, which enables him to
make frequent trips to the United States.
During the last trip. he IS reported
to have said that he represented
the Conservative party. The local press
took up the matter, when he, boy like, to
set matters straight, rushed into print, pub
fishing q letter in which he criticised the
government, the liberal party and also
President Diaz, who is commander-in-chief
of the army, and for this he was arrested
and sent to the Tlaltalolco military prison,
where he is on trial for complaining
against a superior officer. The author
tiles attach little Importance to the
affair, though they are inquiring to ascer-
tain whether he was i~nstigated by Others.
So far, however, it appears that he wrote
the i%mpudent letter without consulting any
one, and therefore this government is in
clined to deal leniently with him, particu-
.larly as he claims that his ideas are purely
republican and that he never dreamed OF q
monarchy. His attorney, Mr.. Verdugo,
claims that even if he is found guilty he
can be sentenced to only one or two months
imprisonment.

is q large deficiency in seasonal rainfall from
central Minnesota westward to the Miss
ouri valley and lower west Dakota.
Over this section less than 40 per
