AN ECCENTRIC MAYOR.
His Unique Way of Dealing Out Justice
 to Offenders.


 There are @ dozen eccentric characters about the old capital worthy of mention says a Milledgeville correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, but a short al fusion to one who has passed across the river of death will suffice for the pres ent. The gentleman referred tC was at one time mayor of Diilledgeville, and more upright man never lived. His chief characteristic, the one that i'm pressed itself most forcibly upon those with whom he dealt, was his most total disregard for law or precedent and his firm adherence to right and justice from his own views. He believed mur- der and theft were a crime and should be punished. He believed that drunk enness and disorderly conduct were crime worthy of equal punishment. His motto, incorporated in his address to the council, was that ''ninety-nine innO cent men should be punished before one guilty one should escape" and the rigid ity of his reign impressed those brought before him with the fact that he was honest in his convictions. In dress and style he resembled the picture of Uncle Sam" as it appears in Puck and Judge, and the sarcasm with which his fines were imposed scorched worse than the summers sun during sixty days on the chain gang The outside limit was given to almost every case, and in mak- ing, his fine he usually said to the cul- prit:
 Well, see you have taken the law in your own hands, but there are some few amendments that you have over looked that l want to read. Please let me have your attention for just a min ute. But, before going further, let me tell you not to think that the moder- ation Of this punishment is due to your chicanery; it is because of my benevo- lent heart"
 This speech was followed by fine that usually paralyzed the mercy-eX- pecting prisoner. When there was a slight variation in the testimony, or when there was any question as to the guilt of party, witnesses and all were fined, on the ground that the guilty should not go unpunished." :" In case of fighting, all parties were punished and the belligerents with equal severity, no matter who was at fault, flor it took two to make Q quarrel"
 In those days-twenty years ago Milledgeville was regarded as one of the most disorderly towns in the country. Drunkenness and fighting were common occurrences, and the laXlty in enforcing the laws gave a stimulus to the state of affairs that was not retarded until such a reign was given tho city. It is hardly necessary to state that the severe ruling of MlIledgeville's eccentric chief execu- tive for four years had the desired effect, and when he went ito join the caravan which moves to the mysterious realm, The left city of law and order for his monument.

A sample of London Usury.

A case of money lending at 72O per cent. came out in the Lord Mayors Court in London short time since. The defendant in the case, named Bry- ant, said he was cashier at salary of 93 per week. He had been a clerk in the London and Westminster Bank, but in consequence of difficulties with moncy-lcnders he had been dis charged. His fellow-clerks then sub scribed and put his wife and two daugh- ters into business. On this particular debt he borrowed ZIP and gave bill for G15. He had paid interest at the rate of 12O per cent. for six years, or 720 per cent. on the original loan, and was now summoned for the amount of the loan. The judge made an order for shillings ner month

Meant to Be Gallant.

There is young member of diplo- matic corps in Washington who is dis posed to be polite, but who is not al- ways judicious. He was conversing with a lady who combines intellectual and physical graces with considerable de- gree of maturity.
 'I have enjoyed talking to you very much" he said. Ut is a pleasure to be in the society of some one who has ob- served the world"
 ''But, MT. Brown, she said, laughing ly, perhaps l am not so old as look. g
 ''I was always sure of that" he re- turned, with all the gallantry of man. ner that he could muster.

CornwaIrs Uraniu1n Nine.

The discovery of Q lode of uranium at the Union mines, Cornwall, was an nounccd several months ago. This is believed to be the only known lode of that metal in tho world, as it had pre- vtously been found only in isolated pockets and patches. Since the discov- cry was made steps have been taken to develop the lode and to work the mine. Experimental works for procuring the metal from the orc were fitted up in London, and there the ore has been sub mitted to treatment in order to deter mine the best and most economical method of extraction. The market price of the metal is about ten thousand dollars per ton. It is proposed to sub stitute it for gold in elcctro-plating, and it is also expected to prove very useful in electric liOhtinD-

4 Nation of Knights.

Tie old remark that the Americans are nation of colonels has lost much of it's force, but few realize that we are rapidly becoming nation of knights. Even now you couldn't throw stone without hitting Knight of Labor, or a Knight of Pythias, or Knight of Honor, or a Knight of the Golden Eagle, or a Knight Templar, or a Knight of the Silver Horn, or a dozen or so other varieties of knights. Now will some plain man arise and tell us why this craze for knighthood is so prevalent in country where every man is a sovereign, and therefore vastly higher in rank than knight.

Another Fearful Reservoir Disaster Bare
Iy Averted---Some Lives May Have Been
Lost.
DENVER, Colo, June News has
reached here Of the bursting of the res
ervoir, nine miles above Gunnison, early
on Wednesday morning. The accident
was caused by the breaking of the drain
age pipe. Indications Of the break were
noticed several days ago and men were
kept there to watch and strengthen the
weak places as much as possible. When
the break came they fastened to Gun
nison to inform tho inhabitants of the
danger. The reservoir was five miles
long and about one and a half miles
wide and about twenty feet deep. The
people hur1iedly dressed themselves,
seized what they could carry, and, driv-
ing and leading their animals, rushed to
a place Of safety just in time to escape
the torrent which swept fences, bridges
and every movable object before it. The
destruction of property will be very
great and there are foa1s that lives may
be lost at Christianburg.
