TIE spsakership Contest.

Seventeen ballots have failed 20 settle the
speakership contest. 1t was thought before
the caucus met that a choice would be
made very quickly. There Is prospect
now that the contest will be continued for
several days. The friends Of Judge Crisp
are certain to stand by him and Mr.. Mills
friends are not going to desert him as long
as there is any hope OF electing him. They
are far ahead OF any one Of the other cam
didates aud are running close together.
Each has gained a few votes since the bal
loting began. On the first ballot Judge
Crisp had 81 and Mr.. Mills IS. On the last
ballot that was taken-the seventeenth
Judge Crisp had % and Mr.. Mills 81. Mr..
Mills is therefore closer to Judge Crisp than
he was on the first ballot.
OF the other candidates only Mr..
McMillin has gained. de began with IS
votes and closed with 10. 1t looks as If he
had staying qualiti and he may surprise
his competitors. II Judge Crisp and Mr.
Mills continue to run close together he may
finally occupy Q most advantageous posi-
ton. II he can hold his supporters long
enough he may finish tie contest the
winner.
The supporters OF Mr.. Springer and Mr..
Hatch are leaving them gradually. On the
first ballot Mr.. Springer had 30 and Mr..
Hatch IA. On the seventeenth ballot the
former had Il and the latter 5. They must
soon drop out OF the contest. To which
candidate will their supporters gol They
have been going TO both Judge Crisp and
Mr.. Mills in pretty nearly equal
Il
so the contest will not be ended
when Mr.. Springer and Mr.. Hatch have
Withdrawn. 1t will then be seen whether
Mr.. McMillin can draw strength from either
Judge Crisp or Mr.. Mills. The prospect of
Judge Crisp for success is still better than
that of any other candidate.

Reason why She Had No Ring.

Let me tell you why one bride wears no en-
gagement ring. says the Utica Observer. A
fellow had been engaged 70 her about two weeks
aud at last she had consented to let him put an
engagement ring on her independent little
finger
She would allow him to pay 800. and IL was

an EN-. raid was her stone and she loved pearls.
Then they had quarrel and he went off on a
thorough spree. At the end of 1t he felt that
he had better give the dearest girl in the world
chance TO throw hun over, as he deserved
He went 70 the house She kept him waiting
half minute and then ran in. She looked
particularly sweet. of course.
You may only kiss my hand" she said,
saucily, "bscause you have been away so long"
81 an not fit to Kiss even your hand" He felt
that he was getting at his subject very well.
What have you besn doiug3"

'Um-" She was very serious now. She
drew her skirts back little and sat down. AS

"Yes, 1 know that much; but what made

Then he started TO take her In his arms but
she lifted her eyebrows and brushed her fingers
lightly together. Dear boy, you need several
baths and good long walk. Please 20 away

and are very happy, too, but she never wore an

Virtually the common council Of Chicago
has decided to restrict the number of pas
sengers on the street cars of that city to the
seating capncityo of the cars This is to be
done by prohibiting the companies to collect
farec from passengers who are not provided
with seats. OF course that will have the
immediate effect of stopping the overcrowd-
ing. No company will then allow its con-
ductors TO take on any more passengers
than can be seated. They will not carry
any passengers Free That is quite safe to
predict. But the new order will probably
render travel on the street cars fer more
comfortable.

The Stockholders Privilege.

Savannah merchants are naturally very
much stirred up by the action Of the Rich
mond and Danville management In with
drawing from the stockholders OF the Cen
trail, living along the Central's lines, the
privilege which they have long enjoyed
Of visiting Savannah on the occasion of the
stockholders meeting In January without
paying railroad fare. While it is true that
the Central is no longer in the hands OF
Georgia stockholders, but Is now being run
for the purpose Of making money for those
who have leased it, still, the lessees should
not forget that they get good deal of
money out Of the merchants who will be
benefited if this stockholders privilege is
continued.
The stockholders, or those who come to
Savannah on Central stock at the time of
the January meeting Of stockholders, leave
good many thousands of dollars with the
merchants and hotelkeepers of this city.
Indeed, the amount the visitors leave is
quite an item Ia the city's business. 1t is
not to be wondered at, therefore. that the
merchants complain at the threatened loss
of this trade.
The Richmond and Danville management
cannot be blamed, of course, for making all
the money it can out Of the Central rail-
road. 1t obtained possession of the road
for that purpose. But has it kept the
promises it has been making Savannah since
it obtained control Of the Centrall These
promises were that it would do great things
for Savannah sould bring vast increase
of business to her wharves and her mer-
chants, and would contribute immensely
to her prosperity. 1t may
do all this in time, but
up to the present it has done nothing that
| is calculated to make the people of Savan-
nah glad that the Central has lost its ldent>
| ity. The headquarters of the Central have
been removed and Savannah has lost a
hundred or more citizens in consequence;
aud she has lost the advantage of being the
headquarters Of a great railroad system.
Now it is proposed to withdraw privilege
| from which Savannah merchants derive
| great benefit.
While the right OF the Richmond and
| Danville to do what it is doing cannot be
questioned, it is impossible to ignore the
fact that its course has not been such as to
lead the people of this city to think that it
is very deeply interested in Savaunah's
| welfare.

Decidedly the most elaborate suicide of the
season was that Of a New Jersey man at
Trenton few days ago. Because he lost
$4,000 out of fortune of over $125, 900 he
decided upon sudden death and spread neat
coverings over all the furniture near him be-
fore carefully placing himself in large
chair and blowing out his brains with a
large revolver. All went of smoothly and
the presumption is that he ought to be happy
by this time.

Finding man who wears abnormally big
shoes and then tracing his origin to Boston
affords Chicagoans so much solid setisfac-
ton that the Chicago Netos actually prints
picture of the enormities. Possibly the poor
man moved to Chicago tos seek sympathy and
companionship in q land where big feet pre-
vail. Also where he could find lasts big
enough to make his shoes upon. There he
is placed upon more equal foollng with the
rest of the inhabitants.

Apparently the whole cause of domestic
discord between Earl Russell and his wife is
that the countess objected to have him call
her darling and throw cold water on her,
and the earl dsliked to have her bounce
soap dishes on his head and swear at him.
Such trifiss should not seriously disturb the
even temperature of aristocratic existence
nor furn sh any material cause for severing
marital ties.

A DEADLY CYCLONE.

DOWN AND 10 CONVlCTS KILLED.
OF the SO Wounded Several Arc Expected

Missiles - Tho Governors Res sidence
Damaged A Steamboat Blown to
Pieces.

RATION RoUGE, La, July Ga cyclone
passed over the lower portion Of the town
early this morning, unroofing houses, teer-
ing up immense trees and carrying missiles
along in the air for many blocks. The gov
ernor's mansion was directly in the path of
the hurricane, which made a clean sweep OF
evory chimney and cleared the front OF its
large trees The boulevard is one mass OF
trees that have been torn up by the wind,
and the street is filled with pieces of house
tops and other timhsrs of almost every de-
scription. The penitentiary walls were
blown down and 10 persons were killed and
80 wounded. The loss is very great The
factory building was demolished and
the hospital of the penitentiary is a mass Of
debris. The steamboat Smoky City was
blown in pieces, there being nothing left of
her but the hull. Several of the crew were
badly injured.
There were forty prisoners at work in the
pantaloons factory at the time of the crash
and Of that number six were killed and ~
wounded and horribly crushed. On the
second story or central floor was the hospi-
tal where 20 sic.; prisoners lay undergoing
medical treatment of which number, four
were killed and IA seriously, if not fatally
injured.
Inc Hre aiorin was sounueu anu Vne Gil
tire fire department was summoned to the
scene OF the dreadful catastrophe, and to-
gether with the citizens and prison officials,
aided by the uninjured prisoners, worked
vigorously for the rescue OF the unfortun-
ates confined under the great heap OF debris
The storm was attended by most violent
rain in which the rescuers worked and toled
for several hours, or until both the living
and the dead were extriCatel from the ruins
OF the 36 wounded about six are expected
to die before night and the recovery Of
several OF the others is extremely doubtful.
The total damage to the penitentiary build
ings is estimated at $50, 600.
