MONEY FOR ANOTHER COLLEGE.
About a Million Given to an Institution
at Atlanta, Ga,


CHICAGO, Dec 5i.-By the death of Mrs.
Jane c. Cannon, of Batavia, IL, an es-
Unable and wealthy lady the Methodist
seminary at Atlanta, Ga, becomes the pos
SCISSOR of nearly $750OO0. The seminary, it
might be said, belongs in the Cannon
family, and it was Elijah H. Gammon's
cherished hope of the past few years before
his demise that it be made a mon ument to
his memory. The institution was estab-
lished by the Nethodists in Atlanta in 1856
as the theological department of the Clarke
university. Before his death Cannon gave
100000 to the college and in his will gave
$3.50, 900 more.
Where the $500 Comes from.
He gave the balance of his property. val
ued at l,500,000, half to his wife and half
to the other heirs. His wife's half was hers
only during her life, and at her death it
went to the college. Mrs. Cannon left no
will, and the half belonging to the heirs
will be divided equally, while the college
will get $50, coo. Mrs. Cannon was much
interested in the welfare of the seminary
as well as her husband during his life
time, aud intended, had she lived, to co.,
tinue to make donations to its support, as
Mr.. Cannon had previously done.

The possibility of deadlock in the COM

some attention toward Col. q. T.. Zachary

The Seventh district delegates did the
handsome thing for Paul Trammell. In
their caucus they made him chairman of the
meeting, and before adjourn1ng passed a
resolution unanimously indorsing his can
didacy for speaker, and ask all the NOM
bers to be elected in the various counties in
the Seventh district to urge his election and
to vote for him.
While he was a candidate for attorney
general Hon. w. G. Glenn declined to make
any canvass for the office Now that he
is only private citizen in the democratic
ranks, he SAYS: MY services are at the com
mand of the party anywhere in the state.

his youngest son in pond near his home.
He had made an active canvass of the state

All the white men who voted in
that nomination and invited these negroes

The democratic candidate for governor in

He is the same man who ran for governor

man he is, from all accounts. Last year

clared that the result of the election was In
doubt, and, as no settlement of the dispute
was had, the republican incumbent held on
to the office for another term.
Judge Morris, in an interview a day or
two ago, said: 81 have little apprehension
that the republicans will question my ma
jority this time. If they want to, in the
face Of public sentiment. they must take
