A DRUNKEN SPREE

RESULTS IN TWO BROTHERS GETTING sE-
 MERELY CUT UP.
 COLUMBUS. Ga., Sept. IA special from opelika, Ala, to the Enquirer-S Sun says that two white farmers, Jim and Jeff Waters, who had been to Opelika during the day drinking heavily, weu. to dis reputable house outside of the city limits, where they spent some time, returning to town very much intoxicated.
 About o'clock they met John Long and another man in buggy. The Waters at- tempted to pull the bridle from the horse, when the occupants of the buggy spraug out and desperate free fight followed. Both of the Waters were dangerously cut on the head, throat and shoulders, Jeff Waters receiving twelve and Jim Waters nine serious knife wounds. The parties who did the cutting got into their buggy and returned home, not knowing whether they were injured or not. Later the wounded men were brought to the town in wagon and received surgical attention.
 1t Is feared more trouble will result if tn @ men die. Both are very desperate, and have many friends. Jeff Waters condition is considered very critical. Great excite ment was occasioned in town by the cut ting, as all the parties are well known.

THE SITUATION
Of the Nine Congressional Districts and the Probable Results of
 Tuesday's Conventions.

The democratic congressional convention for the nine districts in Alabama will be held next Tuesday.
 From present indications the contest for nomination will not be very spirited, ex- cept iu the Fourth, Sixth and Seventh, the other districts having practically settl ed the matter at their recent county conven- tions. where instructed delegations were named.
 The situation seems to be about this:
 In the FirstIdistrict MT. Clarke has no op- position and will receive the solid vote Of the convention.
 In the Second MT. Stallings is opposed by Capt. A. A. Wiley of Montgomery and Mir. Burnett of Evergreen. Stallings has almost q majority of the delegates in- structed for him and will more than likely be renomiDated.
 The Third district has to select success sor to Colonel Oates, but as General Harrf- son of Opelika received q majority of the votes iu the recent primary there Is hardly a doubt of his nomination. He is opposed by MT. G. L. Conner ot Eufaula and Judge AIston of Clayton.
 The Fourth will probably have a-warm fight, but from present indications MT. Robbins will be returned by the democracy of that district. He is opposed by Mr. w. T, Smith of Shelby and MT. NJ. L. Wood of Selma. Dallas county, with sixteen dele gates, is uninstructed, but the delegation
 is for MT. Wood. Chiffon s five will likely go the same way. Shelby's seven are in- structed for Mir. Smith, and Talladega's ten for MT. Robbins. Calhoun sent up a solid delegation for Colonel McKleroy |, but his death leaves them to vote for whomsoever they please. It is understood, however, that they are friendly 10 MT.
 Robbins. Cleburne's five will probably
 be for Mir. Robbins. Taking the above as the probable first vote and MT. Robbius will have 26 votes, Mr. Wood 21 and MT. Smith 2. Mr. Smith will thus hold the key to the situation.
 h the Fifth Judge Cobb has majority of tue delegates instructed for him. ! Tbs hottest fight of all is likely to be in the Sixth, where Captain Bankhead has
 much opposition. Long of Walker, Foster of Tuskaloosa and Chapman of Sumter all have good following, and the convention at Guin Tuesday is likely to be red hot. The fight there is auybody's, and the re- suit will be in doubt until the last ballot has been taken. ! Colonel Denson will most likely be his own successor in the Seventh, though "a large number of good democrats la tn ( district oppose him because of his con duct
 in the recent state campaign. He has nc
 opposition so far as known. In the Eighth General Wheeler will un-
 doubtedly be renominated. He is opposed by Judge William Richardson of Hunt5- vile and Hon. Wilson k. Brown of Shelf | field. The contest in the Ninth was settled al primaries two weeks ago when MT. o. w.
 Underwood of Birmingham succeeded in carrying Perry county ih addition to Jeff ferson, thus assuring his nomination over MT. L. w. Turpin, present incumbent. The convention meets at Blount Springs Tuesday at p. m., but there will be no contest to speak of, as Il of the 61 delegates are instructed for Mir. Underwood.

A DEPLORABLE MOVE.

COLUMBIA, s. C., Sept. 1.-At a meet ing of General Butler s friends held in this city last night, it was determined to run an independent democratic ticket against the regular democracy, which is known as the Tilmanites. The legislative tickets favorable to Butler will be nominated in every county and it is probable that a con- vention will be held to nominate a fall state ticket from governor down. This action is arousing much bitterness and the democratic executive committee, of which Senator Irby is chairman, has been called political situation. When the independent convention wilt be called has not been de- cided. The republicans will take advan- tage of the divided democracy and run cam didates in most of the congressional dis tricts.

RASHAW NO MORE.

RICE LAKE, Wis.,, Sept. 1.-Terrible the town of Bashaw, ,l5 miles north of here, is entirely wiped out. Railroad bridges are partially burned, and telegraphic commu- nication is entirely cut off from the north. The noon passenger train which left here today ran as far as Bashaw, but had to return, picking up what people they could find. Some of them were nearly overcome with heat and smoke, and would have perished had it not been for the timely rescue. A party was sent out from here by a special train, but only succeeded in find ing one man, whom they discovered half crazed, wandering around in search of his family, having got separated from them while escaping from the flames. It is thought that some ara burned to death, as no trace can be found of them.

THE MONUMENT.

THE MONUMENT sociation. Amove- ment was then inapgyrated to raise funds for suitable mon6iifaht. 6 cominittee was appointed at the grand encdhpinent of the G. A. R. last year, the mofiey was raised, and the m6nulnent is now complet- ed. It will be unveiled with impressive ceremonies during the coming fall.
 After the war many restricted organiza- tions of veterans, such as the Society of tho Army of the Potomac, were formed, but it was soon seen that what the veterans of the north particularly desired was a na- tional organization that should be open to all soldiers who had fought under the stars and stripes. The idea of such an organi- zation suggested itself to Dr. Stephenson and Chaplain W. J. Rutledge of the Four teenth Illinois infantry. They planned many of the details of tho proposed order and in March, 1866, met at Springfield, Ills, to arrange ritual. At this meeting the name Grand Army of the Republic was decided upon, and on April 6, 1866, Major Stephenson, assisted by Captain John s. Phelps of the Thirty second Hi nois infantry organized at Decatur the first G. A. R. post. 1t was called "Post of Decatur, district of Macon, department of Illinois There were only 12 charter members, and Major Stephenson was the first commander of the department.
 For time politics threatened to dis rupt the infant order, but the veterans wisely excluded all political questions. and it continued to grow apace until at the present time ths total membsrship is about 400, GOO. Since the organization of the or der nearly $3, COG, ,000 have been expended by the different posts for the relief of un- fortunate comrades, soldiers widows and Orphans

II Seems So In Europe. While Ours Are
Growing Warmer.
1t is often asked. regarding the sea-
sons, whether they alter from year to
year, whether there is positive change
in climate from century to century.
The general opinion seems to be, &C.
cording to the New York Press, that
the springs and summers are cooler
than they were once, and that the win
tiers are less cold.
The records Of thermometrical obser-
vatlons show that the temperature of
the month Of May is diminishing, but
that the temperature Of the year, taken
together, rather tends to increase.
Taking into consideration a period of
fifty or sixty more years, there has been
observed an actual diminution Of the
mean temperature in the climate of
France. But observing q longer period
comparing, for example, the earliest
centuries of French history with the
present time-no sensible difference of
the seasons can be established.
For example, the Roman emperor.
Julian. was very fond of living at Paris,
and about A. ID. 800 he made several
long sojourns in that city. In his Mis-
opogon he relates that he was greatly
one fine morning to see the
Seine stopped in its course and its
waters changed into blocks of marble.
So we see that there was at that time,
as well as to-day, winters severe enough
to freeze the rivers, and that the eli
mate has not changed much if any.
Perhaps the men of the present time
have a more sensitive epidermis than
had their hardy ancestors.
