High Winds in New York Bay.

NEW YORK, Oct 1s.-Ncyer before in
tho memory Of the oldest mariner along
the waterfront have the East and
North rivers been SO dangerously boist-
erous as Friday. AT Patterson, Scott
Nixon, brakeman on the Lackawana
railroad, while on the roof OF freight
car passing down near Getty avenue.
was carried off by the wind and seriously
injured.
The gale in the bay, aided by strong
ebb tide, caused a collision between the
big tug boat, James A. Garfield, and
the freight boat, Amos c. Barstow, of
the Stonington Steamship company.
The Garfield went to the bottom. John
Steel and John Lyons were drowned,
while seven other men on the tug were
rescued by tho Barstow's crew and the
crews OF other tugs. Captain Henderson,
of the Garfield, had his arm and jaw
broken.

GOVERNOR GORDON.

General John &. Gordon will be
the next United States Senator
from Georgia. This is becoming
more apparent every day. Counties
are instructing their candidates and
endorsing Governor Gordon for this
position. The old soldiers sympa-
thy and love is still alive for their
old comradeSnd they will not allow
any man to be the successful candi-
date against him. The same ele-
ment that followed him in battle,
will follow him in his contest for
Senator. Candidates for the Legis-
lature throughout the State are
speaking out for him, because to be
for General Gordon is to secure an
influence that is very desirable in a
race. Let our people see to it that
Cobb county's vote is cast for Cen
eral Gordon for United States Sena-
ator to succeed Hon. JOSEPH Z.
Brown.

Col. r. L. Nesbitt was no party
to trade with Fulton county, as
has been intimatei by an exchange.
He received enough votes to nomi-
nate him before half of Fulton's
delegation cast three votes for him,
and the other half of Fulton's votes
stuck to Henderson. While Mr..
Nesbitt no doubt feels thankful for
all the votes he received yet he feels
under no special obligation to Full

PLEASED WITH NEsBrTTs vICTO.

The nomination of Colonel Mes
bitt for commissioner of agriculture
is hailed with JOY by the farmers
here. His nomination, after much
balloting. concluded the work of the
convention. 1t was thought at the
beginning that Nesbitt and Hunni-
cult would combine and push out
Henderson, but Nesbirt's friends
would not permit it. His nomina-
ton gives Chatham county two in
spectors, both of whom will be citi-
zens of the county. Colonel Mes
bitt says that he will endeavor at
once to make the office an educator
and protector Of the farmer. If he
fails to accomplish this, he will
sweep the office out. Said he: Il
am going into it to do what | sin
cerely believe to be my duty, and if
there is no good to accrue to the
farmer by just management of it,
| will promptly abandon it and vote
for the adjustment of it."-Atlanta

Over 100000 applications for pen
sions have been filed since the ap.
proval of the dependent pension bill
five weeks ago. The wonderful
rapidly with which these claims
have been filed is due TO the disin-
terested solicitude for the old SOL
diers of the Washington pension
claim agents, who receive a fee of
$40 for each claim allowed. The
amount received for fees will make
fabulous fortune in itself. 1t will
add millions to the Golfers of the
pension sharks. The amount that
will be required annually for pen
sions is now estimated atover $751;
100000. Thus ends the story of the
vanished surplus.

The Hebrew Atonement-Day.
New York Herald Editorial.l

THIS Is the Day OF Atonement for mil
lions OF Hebrews. IL means that they
make their peace with the great Creator;
bow. kneel. and pray for forgiveness for
sins committed during the past year, and
go home cOntentedly tonight after having
passed a severe day of fast and prayer.
What forcible example of religious dis
ciplne IL thus spread to-day before the en-
tire civilized world.
We need not look backward" as some
theorists want US 10 do. Granted that in
ancient times the 10th day of Iishri was
set apart for this beautiful and inspiring
custom of an entire race beSeeching Tor
giyeness for sins committed, why should
W. not initiate. or rather follow this Gus
tom nowadays!
True, we have Thanksgiying-day, also
borrowed from Hebrew tradition, but be-
sides giving thanks the various nations of
this earth at least have something 10 atone
for.
Ii may be that those nations living on
Mars, with which that great scholar Fiam-
marion has made us acquainted. are obsery-
ing Yom kippur to-day the same as do the
Hebrews OF tins planet, but that to-day Is
only guesswork 10 US.
Sure IL is that the Day of Atonement OBJ
served exclusively by Hebrews might well
spread its soothing influences over those
protesting and adhering to other creeds.
