BEFORE THE COMMISSION.
Lurnbermen Presenting Their Claims
Concerning the Loading of Cars.

Lurnbermen Presenting Their Claims
Concerning the Loading of Cars.
ID. w. Dixon Of Savannah ia before the
railroad commission in Atlanta, in COM
pany with number of Iumbermepz from
this portion OF the state, representing the
lumbermen upon the question Of the new
rules for the loading of lumber which were
submitted 10 the commission by the repre-
sentatives of the railroads yesterday.
By agreement with the railroad men the
question as to who shall pay for the
stanchions and dunnage required by the
rules will come up before the commission
for decision at this time.
The lumbermen are endeavoring TO have
this paid by the railroads instead of by the
lumbermen. as aG present.
Mayor McDonough telegraphed Mr..
Dixon in Atlanta yesterday the figures Of
his expense for freight on lumber during
the year 1890. On 4, 751 cars of lumber de-
hvered to him in Savannah he paid $l00, =
7S2 70
The action of the commission upon this
question will have no bearing upon the
petition of the lumbermen for a reduction
of 30 to IS per cent. in rates, which viii be
heard some time next month.

TIE WILLIAMS MEN CAUGHT.
When Mr.. Barrett secured the floor, i'm
/ fnediately after nominations were declared
in order, and began his speech, Mr.. Strong,
| Rev. Robb White and other friends Of Mr..
Williams supposed that he was nominating
Mr.. Williams As his speech continued
they were surprised at his references,
and as it gradually dawned on them that
Mr.. Barrett was nominating Mr.. Gailor and
! not Mr. Williams their amazement was
unparalleled. They were astounded. They
Ind their surprise we'll, though.
When Mr.. Barrett concluded q short con-
ference was held between Rev. Mr.. Strong
and Col. Davidson Of Augusta, and Col.
Davidson agreed TO present the name of Mr..
Williams
Col Davidson's apology at the beginning
and his remarks upon the embarrassment
of the situation were appreciated only by a
few.
The Atlanta delegation went with Mr..
Barrett, as did several other delegations
which had been relied upon to support Mr..
Williams. The vote OF the clergy

everybody he was elected on the first
ballot.
WHAT THE CHURCHMAN SAYS.
In connection with this incident the fol-
lowing, written from Georgia to The
Cltur Gilman, aud appearing this week, will
be read with interest:
perhaps few words touching the con-
vention in this state, which has Just elected
bishop, may be of interest A strong
Low Church diocese has elected, on the first
ballot, a confessed High Churchman to the
episcopate. This was undoubtedly owing,
under Providence, to the extraordinary
character and qualifications of the candi-
date; but In no small degree TO the sipgu-
lsrly good judgment. the delicate tact and
the absolute honesty Of purpose with which
his name was presented to the convention
by the Rev. Mr.. Bar rett, dean of the cathe-
dral and also of the Atlanta convocation.
THE writer has been present at the cleo
ton of three bishops, where many names
have been presented. but in no case has it
ever been his good fortune to witness the
presentation of the name of candidate
that left absolutely nothing to be added.
There is scarcely doubt but that the cleo
ton OF Dr. Gailor was assured when Mr..
Barrett resumed his seat.
THE temper Of the convention was ad-
mirable. In the afternoon an informal ses-
sion had been held In the lecture room of the
church, where the merits and dement's liz
they can be 30 termed of DIR. Gailor were
discussed, though very little almost moth
fug1 was said about any one else. At night.

With Warm Approval
The goat-catching goes merrily on. Sew
eral more Of the risky pets OF the Fort
were imprisoned yesterday. There is
quite an aggregation at the pound
now. Some of the owners who went
to redeem their pets yesterday found that
they would have to pay for the keeping of
the goats at the pound, as well as the
original charge Of So. One goat owner had to
pay 81. At that rate most of the owners can
better afford to buy new goats that have
never suffered the ignominy of an arrest at
the hands of a policeman.
A good many will wait until City Mar
shal Wade puts the goats up for sale and
will then bid them in.
The news of the anti-goat crusade has
reached Philadelphia. Mayor McDonough
received the following telegram from Alder
man Cam yesterday;
PHILADELPHIA, June s. 1891.
Bon. J. j. McDoloitoh, Mayor:
Notice you are inforcing ordinance against
goats. Please be sure to instruct police not to
impound Bailey. Glad am beyond your juris-
diction W. G. CAM
The enforcement of the goat law is meet
ing general approval except. of course, from
the few who own goats and who want to
pasture them In the streets and in other
peoples back yards. There has been a
remarkable scarcity of che animals on the
streets and squares since the mayors order
went into effect. and the grass and young
trees and shruobery will have chauce
now TO grow.
''It is one of the best things in the
way Of reforms that has been undertaken, -"
said a gentleman yesterday who has
taken an interest In having the law en-
forced, land we owe q good deal TO Alder
derman Bailey as well as to the mayor, for
his advocacy Of the new order of things"

She Teaches Reckless Car Driver a
Lesson in a Quiet Manner.
From the Providencs Journal.
A few days ago as Broad street car was
approaching the railroad crossing on the
down trip the bells tinkled for coming rail-
road train and the gates began to come
slowly down. Seeing this the driver hurried
his horses SO as to cross the railroad before
the train arrived and thus save the waiting
time. Among the passengers was young
lady who took in the situation, and who was
some what frightened. But she did not lose
her head. Not at all. Not wishing to cross
the railroad track under the then existing
circumstances, she calmly pulled the bell as
a signal that she wished to disembark. The
driver obeyed the signal, of course. When
the car stopped the danger was over and
she did not wish to disembark, so she quietly
remained in her seat. The railroad train
passed safely by, and the street car resumed
its way, but it was some little time before
the driver regained his placidity, IL looks
are anything to judge by.

had already lived too long; he should
have died before.
One can hardly imagine the sorrow
his death would have caused two years
ago. How different now!
Boulanger lived too long. Indeed
Americans think that a man, however
brave at one time, who will kill himself
and leave no farewell message to bis

You will learn in history of men who
lived too long.
Look up the life of Benedict Arnold

And the audience saw, in the elegantly
