From the Sparta IshmaeIite.
South Georgia ought to be allowed to
name the next governor. The democrats
of that portion Of the state have been the
truest of the true, lndependeutism and
republicanism have never gained a foot
hold there. Let the governorship go to
some true, able, representative South
Georgia democrat. That would be
right.

SgAP SHOTS,

'I.iving beyond their incomes is the
ruin Of many people," has been truly
said. They can hardly afford to keep a
rabbit, and must need to drive a.pony and
chaise. Extravaganza is the common
disease-of the times. Show and style,
and smartness run away with a
mans means, keep the family poor and
the fathers nose on the grIndstone.
Frogs try to look as big as bulls and
burst themselves. Ten dollars week
apes five thous md year. Men burn
the candle at both ends and then say
they are unfortunate. Economy is half
the battle IN life; it is not so hard to
earn money as it is to spend it we'll
j asst SO long as people live beyond their
means, just SO long will they be burden
ed with debt, and just SO long will be
heard the cry OF hard times and the
clamor for relief. We need relief and
must have it-relef from ourselves. We
are oppressed, but in nine cases out of
ten we are our own Oppressors, tette"ed
by chains of our forging and which our
selves alone can rend asunder.
Nobody likes the man who is always
finding fault, bat everybody is glad to
take advantage Of the improvement that
his constant kicking brings about.
''Who stabs my name would stab my
person, too,
Did not the hangman's axe lie in the

The wolrd is full of people who seem to
live to stab names and characters, and
the good characters usually receive as
many stabs as the bad. Where two or
three people are gathered together there
is often a temptation to talk about other
people Such talk is not always mali
cious, but i i is frequently unkind There
was man once (he is dead now who
was never known to say anything detri-
mental to ones character. Ii he couldn't
say anything BETTER he would declare
that "Jack was a good whistler" 1t is
good idea to think twice before you be-
lIeve an Idle story, and to think many
times before you repeat it. Madam Ru-
NOR is prone to exaggerate, and is never
good authority, The cynic, the person
who never sees a good quality in another,
and never fails to see a bad bad one, is
half brother or half sister to the SANDER

darkness, and blind to light, housing for
vermin ana never sees noble game.

"A BIG RAILROAD DEAL.
The vanderbIIts Secure Control OF the
Delaware. LaekawAnnA and Western.

Delaware, LaekawannA and Western.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The Delaware
Lackawanna and Western railroad has
passed into the hands of the Vanderbilts
J. W. Davis s. Co, the Stockholders Of 8
Broad street, transferred 10000 shares of
the stock to the name Of W. X. Wander
bilt. It Is understood that 100, 900 shares
have been bought for the same interests.
This is the explanation of the big rise in
the coal stocks which has been puzzling
Wall street for so many days. Lackawan-
ma and the coal stocks fairly hummed in
the stock market. Lackawanna sold up
10 points, to ITO; Jersey Central, 10 points,
to 120IS, and Delaware and Hudson, 4
points, to 1855.
All these advances were scored during
the first half of the days market. The
meaning of the new deal is that the coal
roads will now be operated harmoniously,
the Vanderbilt and Jersey Central inter
ests now controlling all three of the roads
mentioned above, and a sympathetic re-
ownership for the Reading assuring the CO.
operation of that property. The deal is
considered one of the greatest ever made
in Wall street.
1t is understood that the Vanderbilt pur-
chases include the holdings OF the New
York Life Insurance company and those of
Mr.. William Rockefeller.
1t is learned that no large interests be-
sides the New York Life Insurance COM
pany and William Rockefeller parted with
their holdings. The Moses Taylor stock is
said to be in the hands OF trustees, and the
Pratt holdings are thought to be intact.
Other large holders are said to be Frank
Work and the Higgins estate.
The new deal means more than solution
of the coal situation, as the control OF the
I.ackawanna gives the Nanderbilts third
line to Buffalo. The Lackawanna has act
ed as the eastern connection of the Grand
Trunk, and the latter may have to find new
connections or make different arrange
ments with the Lackawanna.

FOY'S CAREER ENDED.
His Execution by Electricity Swift AM
Painless.


DANNEMoRA, \. Y, Oct. 24.-Martin Foy
was successfully killed by electricity at
Clinton prison. When he was brought
into the deathroom by Warden Thayer and
Deputy Mckeuna, he walked with steady
step, carrying n crucifix With no visible
sign of emotion he took his seat in the
death chair while the deputy warden pin
toned his arms and Electrician Davis put
the electrodes in position. The current was
turned on with voltage of $40.
For 10 seconds the current was poured
into the murderer's body at nearly full
force and then allowed to reduce for 40 SEQ
onds. At the expiration of minute Drs.
Bontecon and Ledlie and Prison Physicians
Ransom and Madden examined the body
and pronounced life extinct Death had
been painless. The condemned man made
no cutlery. There was no twitching except
the involuntary movement caused by turn
ing on the current. DIR. Ransom says that
Foy's death was one of the easiest aver ex-
perienced from the electric current. An
autopsy followed.
Foy's father and brother staid at the
house of Keeper Haggerty during the cleo
trocution. They took the body to Saratoga
for interment
The crime for which Martin Foy paid
the death penalty was committed on pub
lie street in Saratoga on May IS, 1892. On
that day Foy shot and killed Henrietta
Wilson, who had lived with him as his
mistress for over n year. He was Jealous
of her.
Foy was arrested and confined in Balls
ton iail. Thence he escaped, but was re
captured, though he succeeded in reaching
the Pacific coast. Foy WAS convicted oil
murder at the first trial. He was % years
old, born in England, hostler by occupa'
ton, of fairly good education, but intern.
perate habits He probably would have
succeeded in eluding his pursuerS after his
escape had not his passion for horses led
him 70 attend the Oakland rano track,
where he was recognized.

NEW YORK BANDITS.
An Armed Gang TerrOrIzInG the Vicinity
OF HornellsyIIIe.

HoRNELLsvrLLE, n. Y, Oct 24.-Unsuc-
cessful efforts are being made to capture
the Martin gang. They are band of
highway robbers who operate on the roads
leading from this city. They carry re-

Webb's crossing, and threatened him with
dire punishment because he was one of 10
special constables appointed to capture the
gang. Martin wore "A belt filled with pis-
tolls. He defied Drake to arrest him.
Several deputy sheriffs, accompanied by
posse Of 100 men fully armed, started to
capture the gang after Martin left Drake.
They surrounded a shanty in a wood that

some means the outlaws managed TO es-

AFTER MANY YEARS.
A Strange Story of n Soldiers Disappear
anoe From Home;

PALMER, Mass, Oct. 24-Thirty years
ago Charles Holcomb said goodby to his
wife and son and enlisted in the Union
army. When the war was over, he did not
return to his family, but went to unknown
parts. Mrs. Holcomb naturally supposed
her husband dead and after a proper in
terval married Captain Dwight johnson of
Palmer. In a few years Captain johnson
died, and within few months Mrs. John
son died also.
Since his mothers death the son, George
Holcomb, has accidentally found that his
father is living. He was at Colrain, Mass,
and happened to see in the postoffice let
ter addressed to Charles Holcomb.
As that is his fathers name, he made in
quiries, went to farm some distance from
the town, found that the man really was
his father and had long talk with him.
The elder Holcomb is married again and
has several children. He owns good farm
and draws a pension. George told his ia
Their of his mothers death, and the old gem
tleman said he would have liked to have
seen Mrs. johnson before she died and had
a talk with her. There seems to be no like
lihood that father and son will live toGeth-
er. George is Waterman at a depot in
West Brookfield, Mass.

REBELS LACK GUNPoWDER.
MellO Declares One of His Captains PresI-
dent of Brazil.

Rio JANEIRo, Oct. 24-Frederico Gull
herme de Lorena has been proclaimed pro-
visional president of Brazil by Admiral
Mello, in command Of the insurgent fleet.
Lorena is the captain of one of the rebel
warships, and the provisional government
OF which he is now declared president was
established some days ago at Desterro,
which is the capital city of the state of
santa Catharina and is situated on the
island of that name, which lies just off the
Atlantic coast of Brazil, about 400 miles
south of Rio
When this island fell into the hands of
Mello and his followers, they at once estab-
lished their land headquarters there and
set up the provisional government which
has now been dignified by the addition of
a president.
The bombardmento of the capital has been
suspended. There are two reasons current
in Rio Janeiro for this action, or rather in
action, on the part Of Admiral Mello. One
is that he Is awaiting the arrival of the
ship Ciudad do Porto, which set out from
this port recently, loaded with allies and
provisions, but especially ammunition for
Mello.
She has not reached Rio harbor vet. and
consequently it is surmised that the rebel
gunners have about run out of gunpowder
and projectiles and do not think 1t wise to
exhaust what they have left, lest before the
arrival of the Ciudad with fresh supplies
some of Peixoto's ships, though of inferior
caliber, might engage the rebel squadron.
and after obliging them to exhaust their
ammunition in repulsing the attack over
power the insurgent crews by mere force of
numbers

A MINISTER'S WRATH.
Denounced a Brother Pastor
From the Pulpit.
HE ACCUSES HIM OF PROSECUTING.

Members Of His Flock Told Him That
They Had Been Urged TO Leave the
Methodist Church and Join Another by
a Minister Scene In Church.
MIDDLETowN, y. Y Oct. IA sensA-
ton was created in this city by the remarks
of the Rev. ". McKendrie Darwood, ID. D.,
at st. Pauls Methodist Episcopal church,
charging another minister with having re-
sorted to PROSECUTING tactics to win men,
bers from the Methodist church. DIR. Oar
wood had just finished the delivery Of one
of his most able discourses and the choir
had rendered the usual anthem when he
arose as though to announce the closing
hymn. His remarks proved instead most
scorching rebuke to brother minister and
a warming against further interference with
the lambs of his fold.
II have n delicate matter to mention this
morning." slowly began the pastor, but
deem it necessary that speak of it now"
BY this time every person in the vast au-
dience was listening with the most intense
interest. You have heard me say on sew
eral occasions he continued, that have
never met a more loyal company of minis
tiers than we have in this city, and repeat
it."
He Hates ProseIytinE.
Everybody was now certain that the COM
INK InunueTNQll was 10 Dc nuElttl ut SOME
one of the city pastors. DIR. Darwood in
creased the volume of his naturally strong
voice and proceeded:
But have heard during the past week
that n man calling himself a minister has
been providing around in the homes of
members of this church trying to induce
them to leave this church and join his"
At this period in the proceedings every
body had an idea who the alleged guilty
min; gfa . ha h,l ,,.F
been given. The pastor said further: lido
not speak because am afraid of losing my
members, for | would not give n snap of
my finger for a Methodist who would leave
the Methodist church to join some other,
but hate such PROSECUTING methods. 4
man who would steal lamb from a church
fold would take anything else he could get
his hands on" y strong emphasis was
placed upon the last sentence.
This is all have to say this morning"
he continued, but if the thing is not stop
ped will write the minister or go and see
him personally. God forbid that should
ever indulge in proselyting. May my right
arm drop from its socket before do such
thing"
Scene After Church.
Immediately after the audience was dis
missed numerous members crowded to the
front and warmly grasped the pastor by
the hand, while here and there in the
church little companies of people collected
to discuss the matter. The affair caused
much discussion upon the streets yester-
day, and DIR. Darwood is sustained in the
course taken by the majority. 1t is be-
lieved the affair will efTectually put stop
in this community to PROSECUTING outside
the church.
1t is understood that Pastor Darwood
learned of the attempt to secure some of
his people through those who had been ap-
preached on the subject. DR.. Darwood is
serving his first year pastor of st. Paul's
having previously been pastor Of Central
church, Nonkers, y. y.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The condition of the road at the iune
ton of Washington avenue and South
Riverside street, is such that yesterday
afternoon, a child narrowly escaped drown
ing. The water lodges at this point after
every shower and renders the street al
most impossible. People in the vicinity
are waiting anxiously for visit from the
road board.
The Webster school for young children
is so crowded that applicants have to be
turned away every day. Parents are often
displeased because their children are not
admitted, but the teachers are powerless
in the matter as they have no place to put
them. The district is about to reseat tn,
building and when this is done possibly
some few more can be accommodated.
