as a found alton for what he will say.
His lectures were all full of interest and
information.

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD.
RESIDENCES AND BUSINESS HOUSES
TO BE NUMBERED.

BeDham Brothers, of Chicago, Will Do the
WOrk--Dawson Keeps Up the
March of Improvement,
At special meeting of the city coun-
Gil, on Wednesday evening, the question
of adopting system of numbering for
the buildings in Dawson-both business
houses and residences-was discussed,
and by a vote CT the council Messrs.
Benham Bros, of Chicago, who are en-
ployed in numbering cities in the south,
were engaged to make a set of number
plats according to the Philadelphia sys-
tenn. The Messrs. Benham will be paid
$25 for the work, and the plat will be
placed with the city clerk.
OF course the owners of buildings will
have to pay for the numbers, but as the
charge is nominal there is no reason why
single house in the city should go un-
numbered.
With the buildings numbered and The
names of the streets put up at the cor
ners, Dawson will continue at the head of
enterprising cities of Southwest Georgia,
and it will give new impetus to the
spirit of improvement that has SO long
pervaded the city and gained the aomi-
ration of the peoole of neighboring
towns.
The News hopes that as many as are
able will fall into line and make Dawson
a numbered city.
With the system adopted by the coun-
Gil no change in the numbers will ever
be necessary. The figures to be used
are both substantial and handsome.

County S0SlIAIs
ATLANTA, Jan. 27-Harry Hill, At
lanta's society Don Juan, gave the pub
lie another surprise party today by
surrendering himself to the sheriff, after
having successfully fought the law that
sought to folce him to come back to the
scene of his adventures for two months.
Hill arrived on an early train this
morning from Chicago. He took hack
at the depot and went direct to the resi-
dence of his attorney, 3. Fl. Hill, in In
man Fark. The lawyerwa not at home,
and he then he proceeded to the home of
his uncle, \. w. Hill, deputy sheriff, but
Deputy Hill did not think it would look

ANARCHY IN PENNSYLVANIA.
A Mob of Foreign Madmen Go Through the
Country Committing Outrages.

A Mob of Foreign Madmen Go Through the
Country Committing Outrages.
PITTsBURG, Jan. PA wave of an
arcby, in whose train followed blood
shed, arson and the destruction of prop
erty, passed over the Mansfield coal
region today. 1t began at dawn, and at
dusk it was estimated that 800, 900 worth
of property had been destroyed.
Made wild by fancied grievances and
liquor, a mob of several hundred foreign
ers, Hungarians, Slavs, Italians and
Frenchmen, swept over the country sur
rounding Mansfield and through the
valleys of Toms and Painters Run.
They attacked mine owners, miners and
the few scattered deputy sheriffs, burned
tipples, wrecked cars and destroyed
railroad property.
Until noon he mob met hardly any
resistance. At tt at time it reached the
mines of the Beading Bros, near Federal,
on the Pittsburg, Charters and Voughio-
gheny railroad. Here the the rioters met
determined resistance, and were check
ed. They were fired into by a posse of
citizens, and several were killed and
wounded.
The rioters were then marched to Jail
at the point of reYolvers.

And the Blue Blood of Society Was Boil
ind hot from Bubbling Bumpers.
Atlanta, Jan. 25.-Funny things are
always happening in Atlanta society. At
a big reception recently given at one of
the SWEETEST homes in this city, the pre-
siding genius of the punch bowl lost his
wits, and as consequence half the peo-
pie in the house were very uncertain on
their feet and not a few, including both
laties and gentlemen, were downright
tipsy before they got away.
According to the story, which was Civ
en- to the public ear by one of the ladies
who spoke by the card, the chef of the
punch bowl, who was employed from
one of the hotels for the occasion, got
frustrated and spiked the punch to suit
his own taste, rather than the delicate
pallets of the butterflies.
The lady victims were taken unawares,
of course, but some of the young bloods
attacked the punch bowl with such per-
sistence that they only gave up when
they could no longer leave their corners.
The lady, who told the story at her
hairdresser's, describes the scene when
the guests were taking their departure
as something ridiculously confusing.
Some of the men were tagged and
sent to their downy couches by the first
conveyance at hand, piled in the car
riages like freight.

Hogs,

Many hogs were Slaughtered in the
county last week, and several wagon
loads of them have been brought to the
city for sale. The weather has been so
warm since Christmas that the farmers
have had no opportunity to do their last
killing, and in order to save corn all
that are going to be killed this winter
were killed last week.

Not Encouraging for Fruit.

Those who are supposed to know say
the outlook for fruit crop this year is
not at all encouraging. Some plum
and peach trees are already in bloom,
the fall and winter SO far having been
unusually warm. A cold snap, sharp
and sudden in February or March, will
play sad havoc with the swelling buds.
The best medical authorities say the
proper way to treat catarrh is to take a
constitutional remedy like Hoods Sar-
saparilla.

THE STRIKE SETTLED
MINERS AND OPERATORS CONFER
AT COLUMBUS, o.,

And Agree on a Scale to Take Effect
Next Monday Hope Expressed That
Similar Action WIN De Taken in Other
Districts.
COLUMBUS, o., June 13.-Miners and
operators in this district have agreed to
a compromise and work is to be re-
sumed on Monday next, on condition
that the new scale is approved ty the
national board. The conference was in
session all day and about $50 p. m. the
scale committee announced that an
agreement had been reached and was
being drawn up. The compromise was
on basis of 90 cents in Ohio and SO
for Western Pennsylvania. The agree
ment is not to take effect until next
Monday, June IS, the miners desiring
TO have week to submit the matter to
the various districts, as much opposi-
tion to the compromise is expected and
the miners will have to te prepared to
accept it.
The Agreement Ratified.
At the joint conference in the even
ing the agreement was ratified. A. A.
Adams, president of the Ohio Miners
union, who was member of the scale
committee, refused to sign the agree
ment. The settlement, however, is
final. The scale agreed upon is as fol-
lows: Pittsburg, thin vein, SO cents;
thick vein, 56 cents; Hooking Valley, 30
cents; Indiana bituminous, 80 cents;
Indiana block, 20 cents; Streator, Ills,
62 1-2 cents for summer and 20 cents
for winter; Bloomington, Ills, u 1-2
cents for summer and S6 cents for Win
ter; La Sale and Spring Valley, Ills,
70 1-2 cents for summer and 80 for win
for winter. Coal in Pittsburg district
going east to the tidewater shall
Pay the Same Mining Price
as that paid by the Pennsylvania Gas
and West MorelaDi Coal companies.
The scale OF prices will be in effect and
bind both parties thereto teginning
June Is, 1894 and continue until May
/, 1895; provided, that the above named
scale Of prices for the Pittsburg districts
shall be generally recognized and Oh
served. The operators and miners
shall cooperate in their efforts to secure
en- observance of said price, and if, dur
ing the period covered by the agree
ment, recognition of the parties herein
named cannot be secured, either party
to this agreement may call meeting
of the joint toard of arbitration and
determine whether the agreement has
been suffi, iently complied with to war
rant its continuance.
Speedy Settlements Expected.
While it has been announced that the |
agreement reached by the operators and |
miners in their joint conference in this
city is final, its effect upon the miners
remains to be seen. The fact that fully |
a week will intervene before the agree |
ment takes effect leads to the belief |
that the determination of the miners to |
accept no compromise can be Modified. |
A majority of the operators left for |
their homes Immediately after the adj
journment Of the conference and those
who could be seen were confident that |
the agreement would bring about
speedy settlement of the strike E. T. |
Bent of La Sale, Ills, was of the opin-
ion that the settlement in Northern Hi
nois would influence the southern part
Of that state to come into line.

Six Railroad Bridges Destroyed In as
Many Hours.

Many Hours.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 13.-During
the night three more bridges in the
mining district were destroyed by fire
and dynamite. All these acts are
charged up to the striking miners. Just
after the Memphis express on the Kan
sas City, Memphis and Birmingham
railroad had passed over the big iron
bridge that spans Chickasaw creek,
near Carbon hill, one end of the bridge
was blown up by dynamite which had
been placed under the abutment. The
train narrowly escaped. Two hours
afterward, on the same road, three
miles further west, fire was set to
both ends of a long wooden bridge and
several bents of it were burned before
the flames could be extinguished by
watchmen who discovered the fire.
During the night bridge on the Gal
loway mines branch of the road was
burned, making total of six bridges
destroyed, by incendiaries in this dis
trict within as many hours.
