Edwards petition was among the latter, ip-
formed the court that told him that gave

Mr.. Gazan makes a mistake, for l never

him that gave it TO Preston or any one
else. You also state that Mr.. Gazan acct
dentally discovered some papers of impor-
lance, aud the papers you describe Mr..
McLaws had nv seal and certificate to
copies of since December, 1891. The only
thing Mr.. Gazan found accidentally. or

marked Papers in case of Grief Linch

"You wouldn't believe me-" said old
Jacob Bloom of Laurel Run to a gang Of
woodsmen the other day, you wouldn't
believe me if I'd tell you the blacksnake is
boss among snakes in this country but it's
fact. A blacksnake Will whip any other
kind OF a snake you can trot out, and not
half try"
Some Of the boys laughed and said they
didn't think a blacksnake would be in 1t
with a rattle snake at all. There was a
large rattlesnake ia the camp which the
woodsmen kept in a box with glass cover
on to amuse themselves with after working
hours.
Jim Brewer Of this place, who happened
to be there at the time and heard Mr..
Blooms observations, Clipped in and said:
"plI bet a blaoksnake would not last
long IL you'd put him in the box with that
RATHER"
.'Wouldntw exclaimed Bloom. "Why
he'd choke the rattler TO death before be
knowed what happened to him, an in order
to convince you OF the fac I'll 60 out an

The subject was then dropped and the
boys forgot it, but about O'Clock in the
afternoon the old man came in with a black
RATHER was nearly two fest longer.
NOW" he says, "Ill show you how it's

And he put the blacksnake into the box
with the RATHER.
Both snakes seemed to be considerably
agitated. The RATHER shook his tau with an
angry whizz, aud stuck out his tongue in a
menacing way, aud the blacksnake
squirmed around and made several feints
with his tail. The RATHER was angry, and
cooled himself to strike, but before he was
quite ready the blacksnake had taken a
hitch around the rattler's neck with his tail
aud began TO haul taut. The RATHER
writhed and squirmed and thumped himself
around. but all 10 no purpose. The black
snake kept his hold aud drew tighter and
tighter. Finally the c0ntortiOns OF the rat

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
Mr.. Morgan Gives His Reasons for
Being a Candidate.


CLYo, GA, Aug. 12.-Editor Morning
Nelos: In compliance with the demands of
my friends in the First senatorial district
desire to present to the voters of this dis
trict and my oounty-Efingh facts
connected with my candidacy for the Sen-
ate.
l state without fear of successful contra
dictiou that l did not become a candidate
for the Senate until had the positive as
surance from Col 81. g. Wright that he did
not longer wish 20 remain a candidate, and
that he desired me to make the race IN his
stead. The facts are these:
About three weeks ago, at q public
gathering in Springfield, l met Col. Wright,
and in the course of a conversation, he
said to me that the senatorial campaign
was becoming very tlresome and dis
agreeable one; that he had not sought the
office; that it had been thrust upon i'm
by his friends; that he wished to withdraw,
and then asked me il would not enter the
contest in his stead. / answered the colonel,
saying, that as l was out for representative
l could not positively announce until had
consulted my friends.
On Aug. 4, after considering what had
every reason to believe was bona fide
offer Oh the part of Col. Wright, met him
in Gayton, when he reiterated the offer
made at Springfield, saying he would be
glad if any good man in the county would
'take his place In the contest for senator. 1"
then and there said to Col Wright, that
believing he meant what he had said
reminding him of our conversation in
Sprngheld-I had determined to make the
race for the Senate, as a candidate from
Bingham, and had so ouuced; Col.
Wright seemed surprised and considerably
agitated, made me no definite answer and
withdrew from any further discussion Of
the matter.
now say 10 the voters of this district and
my friends Ia Effingham county that
having declared my purpose to withdraw
from the race for the House and enter for
the Senate, believing that Col. Wright
would not be my opponent, cannot con-
sistently do otherwise than make the
senatorial fight to the finish.
1 will leave to the fair and intelligent
verdict of the voters of my county and OF
this district TO say whether Col. Wright can
longer remain my opponeRt IN this county.

From the Neto York Times
Two million dollars of the gold received
from San Francisco on Tuesday was turned
over to the gold-room force at the sub
treasury yesterday and the work of count

to interfere, the whole shipment of 800, 900, =
900 could be counted in four days, but just
now the sub-treasury is fairly busy, and
before the San Francisco figures have been

never been In circulation and which could
be handled rapidly. II all of the shipment
is of the same kind, the work OF counting,
or weighing. will be considerably simplifled.
1t has been found bY the sub-treasuny
officers who have looked up the authorities
on the inject that the shipment of precious
metal received Tuesday was the biggest ever
made in this or any other country. The
second on the list was the sending of 210,-
400, 900 in silver from New Orleans to Wash

The voyage was made successfully, the only
pirate encountered being q sword fish,
which was found in the gulf and van
pushed after n valiant battle by the mans
of-war's men.
The old Spanish galleoHs, il is figured,
bore treasure which would cut very poor
figure compared with the gold train. These
vessels are believed e. have carried from
81, 100000 to 5000 900 worth of gold, and
their achievements In that line have been
equaled by several modern transatlantic
steamships. One of the latter once took out
S5,000,000 in gold, and several have carried
ovec S4,000,000.
So far as the examination of the San
Francisco gold has pr )ceeded it has shown
that different method Of packing the coin
prevails on the Pacific coast from that fol-
lowed by treasury officers in this part Of the
country. Here 1000 il packed in each bag,

A Wagon Propelled by Electricity
Given a Successful Trial.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-A novelty In the way
of wagon propelled by electricity was seen
on the streets of Chicago yesterday. Some
time ago President J B. Mcdonald of the
American Battery Company purchased sew
eral patents from William Morrison Of Des
Moines. Among other things was a PARK
wagon equipped with small 3-horse power
motor and 24-cell storage battery. Ye.-
terday Mr.. Mcdonald fittei the wagon with
new batteries and gave it a trial. With five
persons the Wagon Travelled by the way Of
Winchester avenue to Jackson boulevard, to
La Sale street. TO the company's Office at
Monroe and La Sale street.. The run was
made in twenty-five minutese which was
considered satisfactory. considering that the
wagon was delayed at a bridge and that
frequent stops we're made on account OF the
crowds The peculiarly propelled carriage
attracted attention all along IT'S route As
II passed through La Sale street a crowd
followed It and surrounded IL aud caused il
10 stop. IL Ia calculated that the wagon can
make ten miles an hour easily with the
present motor, and can climb any hill in
Chicago.
