a BATTLE WITH BURGLARS.

An Irwinton Merchant Proves His
Pluck, but Fails to Capture.
IRwINToN, GA, Feb. 2S.-On the night of
Feb. 26 L. Baum & Co.'S store in looms
boro was burglarized, and but for the
timely interference of N. B. Baum the safe
would have been blown open and what
money it contained carried off. A negro
who was living near heard the noise
and ran down to Mr. Baum, who
lived only about 200 yards from the
store, and gave the alarm. Mr. Baum, with
his pistol, quickly ran for the store On his
way, however, he fired his pistol in order
to give the alarm to his clerk. The burglars
heard the report and made their retreat for
the door, at which place, in the act of going
out, they were seen by Mr.. Baum, who be-
gan firing at them. The burglars, who were
still on the inside, quickly closed the
door and began firing back at Mr. Baum
through the door. Shots were exchanged
alternately, until Mr.. Baum's pistol was
empty, when the villains jumped out of the
door and made their escape.
Drills, sledge-hammers, and powder. the
implements of the burglars, were captured.
Three or four men were arrested on sus-
picion, but, after careful investigation, they
were released, Mr.. Baum being satisfied
that they were innocent.

Gov. Gordon to Make Madison's Guards
Toe the Mark.

AOO S%4O 1AdA L.
ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 2S.-W. s.
McHenry, captain of the Madison Home
Guards, has been called upon by the GOV
ernor TO report why he did not place his
company under arms last night and prevent
the lynching of Brown Washington. in
obedience to the exective order telegraphed
him. So far as known at the capitol the
governors telegram received no attention
from any commissioned officer of the COM
mand. The orderly sergeant telegraphed
that he found on his return from
visit TO sick man, he being
physician, that only three men
OF the company were available. and
that the arms had been removed from the
armory. He was unable to find either the
guns or the men. The conduct of the Home
Guards will be investigated, and unless
good cause is shown why the command
failed to report under arms to the sheriff
and aid him in unfolding the law the COM
pany will probably be disbanded by the
military advisory board. in whose hands
the law places the power to act in such
cases. The Home Guards were lately
supplied by the state with arms
OF the latest pattern. The company is
already on the probation list subject to the
spring inspection. It is probable that a
special meeting of the advisory board will
be called to deal with the matter
AN AMBUSHED ASSASSIN,
Wyie McGwynn, an employee at the Full
ton Spinning Mills, this morning about day
light waylaid and stabbed A. S. Cannon
while the latter was approaching the
establishment to begin his DAVIS
work. McGwynn concealed himself
behind a post and attacked Cannon
in dastardly fashion as be entered the
gate. The two bad fight in the factory
two days ago about young girl who is an
operator there. In consequence McGwynn
discharged his resentment in this manner.
Jealousy of Cannon is also supposed to
have helped provoke the crime Cannon
will probably recover.

A Committee Appointed to Confer
With Construction Company.
BosToN, GA, Feb. ga meeting of the
citizens of Boston, held at the opera house
last night, resulted in committee being
appointed tn wait upon the stock owners of
the Quitman Lumber Company, who pro-
pose building a railroad from Boston, via
Mcdonald, to Moultree, connecting with
the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad,
at an early date. The committeeman were:
NJ. X. Mallette, j. W. Taylor, s. B. Zigler,
ID. h. Blood, Daniel Forrest, A A. Moody.
and Capt. N. r. Springer. The people of
Boston are very anxious to have this line
pushed to completion as rapidly as practi-
cable.
WILL OPEN FINE COU NTRY.
1t will open up one of the best farming
and tlmbered belts in the south, which has
been comparatively lost for want of rail-
road facilities IL will greatly increase the
naval store traffic, as well at that in melons
and other produce, which the farmers along
the proposed line cannot handle, as the
carriage expense to a railway or shipping
point is too great. The proposed line IS
thirty miles in length, and will, no doubt,
pay its stock owners handsomely in very
short time. The Quitman Lumber Com
pany will locate its mills along the line and
make Boston its headquarters.
A NEW BUILDING.
Bids are now being made on the new two
story brick building to be built on the cor

building will have four large stores on the

He has made pear blight study since he
was here las, and it is hoped that he has
mastered his undertaking and can now kill
off the destructive insect or disease.

the excuse they have to offer is that
Battelot was their superior officer and
they as subordinates had no right to
protest, and that the blame would rest
on him Benny sent for some quinine

was refused it. Now, if he had sent a
letter in an official way that the qui
nine was in his department md he
must have it, he would have got it,and
Barttelot would have been interrupt
ed in his willful course"
Did you go on the mission as an

English or German?''
"No, l did not, and had no orders
to bring back Emin, but to carry sup
plies to him 1t was this simple Or
der that put me in such predicament.

lands or Germany's territory"
"Did Major Barttelot know all
about Tippu Tib?"
"Yes, he had been with me before,
and l discovered his treachery. l
warned him to look out for the Arab
chief and angliciz ed his character as
compared with white mans nature. :"
"W.s there any accusation against
Barttelol, as is generally supposed, of
immoral nature with the chiefs
wife?'
NO." was the quick reply. 81
never said any such thing as that nor
intinated it. There was no immoral
action of any of the men as far as l
knew"
"Were the stories about the natives
being treated cruelty true?
'tThe log book of the camp, signed
by Bartteiot, Jamison, Bonuy and
Ward, was simply one long account of
remorseless fogging and inhumauity.
"One man han an ulcer seven inches

"One man took piece Of raw meat
hunger and ate it. For this he was
ordered to receive 300 lashes. The
doctor told Barttelot that if it was not
stopped it would kill him. AS soon as
the man was able he ran away into the
bush, but was captured and shot by
Barttelot's orders.
''Bonuy said to me few days ago,
4 haven't told you halt of the horrors
that existed in that camp, but it will
all come out some time"
Mr.. Stanley then told several more
instances of cruelty practiced at the in
stigation of Barttelot.

He Wears a Rooster.
From the Durham Globe. I

On Monday night before the elec
ton Mr.. j. S. Carr was called upon
by his friends and neighbors, who had
assembled in the court house, to give
them his views on the political situa-
tion:
He said in response that he had
given the situation some thought, and
had carefully watched the drift of
events, and he predicted that Demo-
cratic cyclone "on to- morrow" would
sweep over this country from where
the kiss ofthesun, bathed with food
of light, the rock ribbed shore of New
Hampshire, to where, at the close of
the day, beyond the rich fertile lands
of Texas, the beautiful orb of light
sunk to rest. He said further that in
the national, state and county cleo
tions, the result would be most graft
flying to every true lover of civil and
constitutional liberty.
Mr.. Carr to day wears Democratic
rooster in his hat, the returns bringing
in exceedingly good news for the "un-
terrified" Democracy, even beyond
his expectations.

THE NEW SENATE.
It Will be Republican by from Four to
Six.
TFrom the Baltimore Sun I

From the Baltimore Sun
The United States Senate after the
4th of March, 1891, will contain four
less Republican Senators than it does
at present. Mr.. Ingalls,, of Kansas,
will be succeeded by member of the
Farmers Alliance, and Mr.. Evarts, of
New York, Mr.. Spooner. of Wiscon-
sin, and Mr.. Farwell, of Illinois, by
Democrats In New Hampshire the
Legislature Is still claimed by both
parties, and the succession to Senator
Blair may hinge on a technicality as
to the admission of extra members
under the new census. The present
Senate embraces AZ Republicans and
81 Democrats. When the Senators
from Idaho and Wyoming are ad
mitted, there will be 81 Republicans
and 81 Democrats, Republican ma
jority of IA. If Mr.. Blair is succeed
ed by Democrat the Republican
ma jority woull be reduced to four.
With MIR. Blair the Republicans would
have six majority. The election Of
Gen. John M. Palmer, Democrat, to
succeed Senator Farwell is based up
on the pledges of the two or three
Farmers Alliance members of the
Legislature to vote for him. Ex-Sec-
retary VIM. F. Villas is spoken of as
the successor of Senator Spooner in
Wisconsin.
Hon. VIM. G. P. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, says he desires the Office OF
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, but thinks the question should
be deferred until the meeting of the
fifty second Congress, and is therefore
not candidate. Hon. Roger q
Mills, of Texas, announces himself as
a candidate for the speakership.
The returns in the Office of the Con-
necticut secretary of State show that
Morris, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, has an apparent plurality.
There are some disputed ballots which
may change the result. The Senate
is Democratic, the House Republican
and on joint ballot the Legislature is
Republican.
The Republican State ticket in
South Dakota is elected and the Re-
publicans have the Legislature. Pierre
has majority of Votes for state capi-
tai.
Later returns from Kansos indicate
the election of Humphrey, Republi-
can candidate for Governor.
The Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of New Hampshire leads less
than a hundred votes in the latest re
turns.
The returns from Illinois show that
the Democrats have elected their
entire State ticket.
Only one Republican member of
Congress is elected in Wisconsin, a
loss of six for the Republicans.
Minnesota is Republican by a
small majority.
HOW THE HOUSE STANDS.
The Democrats appear to have the
House of Representatives by 145 ma
jority. The following table gives the
result:
