Disposition Of the Appeal Cases Now on the
Docket.
The following information in regard
to the distribution of cases on the
docket of the supreme court will be of
value and interest to all attorneys:
AS soon as the courts of civil appeals
meet, which will doubtless be on the
first Monday in October, the supreme
court will transfer to them all cases
then on its docket, and thereafter the
clerks of these courts will file all
transcripts.
The trial dockets for the three new
courts have been prepared, and the
cases to be transferred will be entered
in anticipation of the order to be made
by the supreme court. The cases for
the Fort Worth and Galveston courts
will be boxed and ready to be shipped
on the night of Oct. 8, so as to reach
the courts on Tuesday morning. These
cases will be the first cases on the
trial dockets, not needing the thirty
days notice required by section.
The clerk of the supreme court will
be governed by the following ruling
from the court until Oct. 8:
Parties desiring to file transcripts
in cases heretofore appealed, should
file them with the clerk of the SUI
preme court to which they would have
been sent had there been no change,
until the new courts meet in October.

The Future Language in China.

The introduction of uniform language
in China is only dream. Two hundred
years ago the emperor Kang-hi founded
schools in various parts of the empire in
the hope of accomplishing that end. but
the result was disappointing. 1t may be
accomplished in the future when railroads
in various parts of the country bring the
people closer together. Centuries will pass
by before that time, however. The Man,
DARN tongue if any will become the uni
versal one in China. -Ostasintischer Lloyd.

Preferred Another kind of Bank.

He was a business man of more than
ordinary prominence. He is still. Sew
eral fellow citizens, also prominent, asked
him to accept bank presidency with a
5000 salary attachment and nothing to
do. There was but one condition. He must
cease to play poker.
"Gentlemen," said he, II appreciate the
honor you would do me, but / must de-

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. A.-General
Weaver, Peoples party nominee for
president, issued the following self
explanatory letter: :
To r. o. Irwin, Chairman State Committee
Peoples Party, Atlanta, Ga.
DEAR SIR-At the urgent request
of your committee entered this state
on the Goth inst, for the purpose of
addressing the people of Georgia upon
the political situation, and the issues
involved In the present national CAM
paign. The places named for said
m meetings were Waycross, Albany,
Columbus, Macon, Atlanta, Madison,
Augusta and Alberton. find a
spirit of organized rowdyism at some
points visited within the state
so great as to render 1t inadvisable for
me to attempt to fill my engagements
at points not already reached. Per-
sonal indignities threatened at Way
cross but suppressed by the attend
ance of q large number of our friends
and careful management of Mr.. Reed,
the local chairman. At Albany we
met bowling mobs which refused to
accord us respectful and uninter-
rupted hearing. Our meeting at
Columbus was grand success, thanks
to the superior management Of Q. j.
ShOrnton. About 5000 people attend
ed the meeting and gave us q respect
full and enthusiastic attention. AT
Macon the conduct of the mob which
greeted our advent to that city was
simply disgraceful beyond descrip-
ton. Rotten eggs thrown
prior to the introduction of
the speaker, one of which struck Mrs.
Weaver on the head, eggs thrown
during the continuance of the meet
ing; the mob was turbulent and the
crowds continued to boot and howl
until past midnight. At Atlanta
similar crowd of rowdies gathered at
the point of meeting bent on tumul-
tuous disorder. Learning of this Mrs.
Lease and myself refused to appear
either in the forenoon or evening.

special attention to the fact that dis

who keep In the background.
The country people were uniformly

named made no efforts to restore
order. / think it is but fair to saw
that many good people who are not In
sympathy with the Peoples party
openly denounce those outrages, but
they seem powerless to assert them
selves. The mayor af Waycross made
every effort to protect our meeting at
that point. j. b. WEAVER

A Miser I'm High Life.

Misers are not confined to one class Of
the community, but have been at least as
common to the higher ranks as to the
lower. John Churchill, the first duke Of
Marlborough, was the greatest soldier in
Europe. Yet when he was an old man, in
order to save sixpence from carriage hire
he would walk from the public rooms in
Bath to his hotel in all kinds Of weather.
He died worth 91,OOO,000, which reverted
to his bitterest enemy, his grandson, Lord
Trevors.- Cassell's Journal

the wreck occurred was excellent with
rock ballast and twelve pound steel

nearly quarter of mile. My theory
is that whoever caused the wreck did
not anticipate that lit would be such
bad one, as it was at the top of the
grade.

Coke spoke here at the opera house
last night in the interest of Governor
Hogg's Texas campaign. The senator
was very bitter in his arraignment of
Judge Clark and his followers whom
he styled Clark, Quincy & Co. He also
said that Clark was since the endorse

much the nominee of the Republican
party for governor as Harrison was
for president. He said the Clark peo-
pie had bolted without the shadow of
an excuse and in his closing remarks
appealed to all such present to return

HARTSUFF'S BRIGADE.
ComTade Shearer Claims that His Article OF

Hartsrfs Brigade at Antietam. pub
lished in the issue of May 26, aud also calls the
truthfulness of the article in question. l did
not write the article from memory, but copied
the main facts and figures from Locke's His
tory OF the llth Pa, and anyone that knows
anything about the author, or his history,
knows that it is truthful, as it was written
from day 10 day as the war progressed. And
the rest Of my evidence is from the account of
Geo w Smalley, the noted war correspondent
of the New York Tribune. What we want in
these articles is the truth, so that history may
be verified and not an insulting denial of the
facts in the case by some person who knows
nothing about what he undertakes to deny.
The one grain of truth in Comrade ShurIey's
article is that Rcketts's Division opened the
fight. This ] know, for my company was or
dered out 10 skirmish as soon as we could see

AT GETTYSBURG.
Troops ut the Stone Wall, the High-water
Mark of the Rebellion.

Mafk OF the Rebellion.
~oMRADE ]. R. DOBsoN, 1st Pa. Re-
serves, in a recent issue Of your paper,
W refers to tho formation of Pickett's
line and the celebrated charge Of his
(Picketts) division. The formation, as he
states, was as follows: Kempers Brigade on
the right, Garnetfs the center, Archer's the
left, and Armistead's massed in the rear. The
line moved rapidly, and the formation referred
to was kept for at least three fourths the dis
tance; but at that point the troops to the right
of the clump of trees and the battery at that
point obliqued to the left. At that time the
right brigade (kemper's) covered the front of
Harrows Brigade. of the Second Division, Sec
ond Corps (Hancock's). and was within gun
shot; the Confederates at that time falling
rapidly from the effects of the fire from the
Union muskets.
When the oblique movement began on the
part of the charging Confederates. similar
movement Immediately, and without orders,
so far as the writer could observe, took place
among the troops of Hancock's Second Corps.
Your correspondent states that Kemper 8
Brigade, on the Confederate right, was met by
Harrow's and Halls Brigades, of the Second
Corps-Union. If this be so, then these bri-
gades must have also encountered at that
point portion of Garnett's Brigade, for the
reason that the 1st Minn. captured then and
there the flag of the 26th Va, one of Garnetts
regiments. The statement that the attack on
Kemper's right flank by the brigades of Har-
row and Hall compelled the former to recol
and march by the left flank and mass in the
rear of Garnett's Brigade is undoubtedly cor
rect. Some writers have endeavored to explain
the presence of Garnett's forces on the extreme
right OF the Confederate line by saying that in
the disorder and excitement which ensued in
the forward movement the men became, like
Helen's babies "mixed up; but it is as GER
tain as nythng can be that Comrade Dalton's
statement is correct.
1t was the spirited attack on Picketts right
that drove Kempers~Brigade to the rear of
Garnetts and uncovered Garnetts right;
then the blow fell on the Virginans. At that
moment there were not less than five or six
Union flags at that point, and all within 10
feet of the battery; one of them not more than
% feet. 1t is safe to conclude that each flag
represented a separate organization, as two
were seldom carried by one reg iment at that
period of the war.
Your correspondent also states that gentle
man says he saw no dead bodies near the stone
wall, except of men belonging to Webb's Bri-
gade and few batterymen; he may not have
seen them, but they were there. Capt. Farrell
and number of enlisted men of the 1st Mimi,
of Harrow's Brigade, were killed within few
feet Of the wall
/ do not believe there was a regiment in
either Harrow's or Halls Brigades that escaped
without the loss of killed and wounded at that
point--"the high-water mark of the rebellion"

speak for the other organizations of Harrow 8
and Halls Brigades ?-H. d. OBRIEN, Co. E,
