TOO FAT TO KEEP AWAKE.
A Product of the British Workhouse
That Does 1t CIR dit.
From the London Telegraph.

FROM the London Telegraph.
The inhabitants of Poplar, who work
hard and live frugally in order to pay
their taxes honestly, must be highly graf
fled to learn that they have been wearing
their fingers to the bone to assist William
Edwards, an inmate of their workhous
to become so fat that it takes him half an
hour TO stoop 10 pick up a pin, and another
half hour TO raise himself TO the perpen-
dicular. And after the herculean exer-
ton he becomes so exhausted that he re-
quires to spend the next hour in
Slumber to recruit his shattered
force. He tried TO induce the au-
thorities to accept a theory he had
worked out, which proved that the
trouble of getting out of bed in the morn
ing was so enfeebling that in his case it
should e omitted from the days arrange
ments and mis- food be sent up to his bed
side. When the workhouse master de-
clined TO acknowledge the correctness of
this deduction, Edwards endeavored to
carry his pet idea into effect surrepti-
tiously by crawling underneath the table
or hiding himself in a corner to enjoy a
nap Never once was the question asked,
Where's Edwards" without receiving
the response, not from the person imme-
diately concerned, and always correct,
ASLEEP, Sir"
This prodigy, who puts all other fat
boys in the shade. is only 20 and weighs
about twenty-one stone, and his cheeks
are so fat that he has not for years seen
his nose. And yet some people say that
the poor-law system is failure. The
other day, when it was rather hot. a
special staff attempted TO keep Edwards
awake and failed, so the sleeper was
brought before the Thames magistrate
charged with neglecting his work. He
then admitted that he felt drowsy after
the good dinner with which the ratepay-
ers kindly supplied him. and if he did
oversleep himself little he "axed pard-
ing Mr.. Dickinson said the youth was
apparently too well nourished. and sent
him TO Jail for seven days as a tonic for an

THE SAME AS LAST YEAR.
The Budget Committee Ready to Re-
port the Tax Rate to the Commits
ainuarg

The Budget Committee Ready to Re-
port the Tax Rate to the Commits
sioners.
The committee from the county com
missioners on the budget met yesterday
afternoon and made up report which
viii probably be submitted to a special
meeting of the board to be held some
time next week.
The committee consists of Commits
sioners Chaplin, Carson and hehoe, but
Mr.. Carson was out OF the city and did
not act. Chairman Dale was present at
the meeting The budget as recon-
mended by the grand jury carried apprO-
priatiOns Of about S2l2. 900. AS made up
yesterday afternoon by the committee
the total amount is $780, "a, a re
duction of about $4,000, The $4,000
additional appropriation FOR education
was left in the budget, conditioned on the
acceptance of il by the board OF education
on the terms made by the grand jury.
The principal items of reduction were in
the amounts Of -, 900 put in for the build
ing of the Skidaway bridge, and 5000
extra for continuing work on the Merid-
ian road. Both these amounts were taken
out
The rate that will be presented in the
report of the committee to the board will
be the same as last year, $1,000 per 81 ,000
The reduction in the state rate does not
seem TO have made any difference in the
totOl for the state and county rate for
Chatham, if the report of the budget com
mitsee is adopted.
The state rate assessed by the COVER
nor is S4.37 per 81, 600, and the county rate
will be 1888 per 81 600, or "A cents per
$1,000 higher than it was last year
This, however, is the recommendation of
the budget committee and is conditioned
on the action of the entire board at the
special meeting to be called for the pur-
pose.
The committee on roads and bridges,
consisting of Commissioners Chaplin, Car
son and Charlton, with the exception that
Mir. Carson was absent, held a meeting,
and took up the work of the Skidaway
bridge matter. The facts and figures in
connection with the building of the
bridge were looked into, but the work
was not finished and the committee is
not ready to make a report. 1t will
in all probability hold another meeting
before the special meeting of the board is
held. Chairman Chaplin of the commit
tee intimaJed yesterday that the com
mittee's report would be adverse to the
building of the bridge. and the fact that
no appropriation is made for the purpose
in the report of the budget committee,
would seem TO indicate that the board will
act favOrably upon the adverse report.
This means there will be no bridge, for
the present at least.

SECOND GEORGIA pIsrR1or.
UnexampIed Outbreak Of Democratic
Enthusiasm for Russell.

Albany. Ca, Aug. 31.-To-day will long
be remember in the history of Albany,
because it furnished the most unexpected
and surprising demonstration of demo
| cratic enthusiasm ever witnessed in the
Second congressional district. 1t was in
| deed Ben Russell's day and could that
gentleman have witnessed the trans
actions which marked his sec
Ond nomination, he would have
felt that his faithfulness TO
duty had met with the appreciation it de-
serves. The fact that MIR, Russell had so
far Outstripped his opponent Judge
Guerry-in The primaries led people to
think the convention would prove a very
quiet and perfunctOry anair. Bul in this
they were surprised, especially people Of
this democratic city.
Every incoming train this morning
brought crowds OF enthusiastic demo-
Gratis. The Thomas Vile tram brought IN
fully 500, ana when the procession
marched up Washington street with the
cambridge brass band and Uncle Reuben
Pyles OF Thomas county, with a national
flag in his hand. at their head, there was
no room 10 doubt that the unterri-
fed democracy of the Second
were still in the ring. The con-
venlion was held in Willingham
hall and was called 10 order at II o'clock
noon by Editor II. NJ. Mcintosh, to whom
had been delegated this authority by
Capt. r. Hobbs, chairman OF the eXecu-
tive committee, VINO was unable to be
present. There was no temporary organ
lzation Of the convention, but Editor Nc
lntosh was made permanent chairman,
and when he announced the convention
ready for business, there were fully 1000
visiting democrats within the sound Of
his voice. Capt. John Triplett was made
secretary of the convention.
Then came the nomination Of Mr. Rus
sell by MIR. 5. A. Rodden gerry of Thomas
county in q speech that thrilled with elo-
quence. The nomination was seconded
by Hon. VIM. Harrell of Decatur, and
Hon. NJ. c. Edwards of Terrell. in elo-
quent speeches. Mr.. Edwards had been
an earnest Query man, but his speech
was full of democratic enthusiasm, and
placed every Query man fully abreast of
those who had championed the cause of
his victorious opponent The nomination
was then finished by reclamation amidst
cheers that almost raised the roof.
Hon. Fl. G.. Turner's presence in the
city was then announced and a committee
was appointed to wait on him and escort
him TO the hall Mr.. Turner responded
and spoke for an hour. Personally Mr.
Turner Is very popular in this district,
owing to his long service as its congress
man, but his address did not meet with
any special degree of responsiveness. He
was able as usual, but his aggressiveuess
in defending his views, which are those
of Mr.. Cleveland on the financial cues
ton, were in harmony with but few of
his audience.
The convention concluded its labors
with reorganization of the executive
committee and appointment of a commit
tee TO notify Mr.. Russell of his nomina-
ton. 1t was great convention, and no
and presented a remarkable
contrast to that convention of malcon-
tents which preceded it on Wednesday.

Roanoke, Va, Aug. 31.-A serious and
perhaps fatal shooting ARRAY occurred at
Blue Ridge Springs Thursday night
about IL O'Clock, in which Taylor Over
street, the Waterman at the hotel, was
wounded by Henry Griggs, a colored
waiter at the hotel. Griggs was arrested
and would undoubtedly have been lynched
by the enraged people had IL not been for
Capt. Phil Brown, the proprietor of the
hotel.
The trouble arose from the fact that
for some time several of the walters have
been guilty of indecent conduct in the
presence of Mrs. Terrey, who has charge
of the dairy. The matter was reported
TO Capt Brown, who advised that moth
ing should be done, and warned the
negroes to desist from such conduct The
ot1ense was repeated. however, and a
crowd went to the negroes for the pur-
pose of taking them out and thrashing
them. Mr.. Overstreet opened the
door leading into the room
occupied by Griggs and asked him
TO come out, as they wanted to see him.
Griggs turned over in bed and fired at
Mr.. Overstreet, the bullet striking him in
the abdomen and lodging in his liver.
Overstreet promptly returned the fire
and the shooting became general. Griggs
was shot in the side. Griggs, after being
wounded, attempted to escape and made
a dash through the door. He was fol-
lowed and captured in the woods near by,
Capt. Brown was sent for and
when he arrived on the scene
the negro was on his knees pray
ing for mercy, and was surrounded
by men with drawn revolvers.
Capt. Brown begged the men not to do
anything rash and let the prisoner be
dealt with according TO law. They were
persuaded to do this, and the man was
taken TO Fincastle for safe keeping. MIR
OVerstreet's wound is of serious nature,
and fears are entertained for his recov-

The Town Of UValde, Tex, Stricken
With DSdSte.

Raging Torrents Submerge, Wreck
and Stay UnsparingIy Many
Drowned-Great Losses to the South
srn Pacific Railroad Company in
Bridges and Washouts-A Brave
Trackwalker.
Uvalde, Tex, Aug. 81. A terrible
catastrophe befell this thriving town last
night, and to-day there is mourning in
many households. The calamity was en-
tirely unexpected. The treacherous
Leon9 river, swollen, 10 a raging
torrent b. recent rains, rushed
without a moments warning down
upon the town, submerging and
wrecking many houses and drowning a
number of people. In this arid section,
such destruction by the elements has
never before been chronicled. In the ex-
citement of the day it is not definitely
known how many have been drowned.
Among the bodies that have been identi-
fed are: Mrs. Joe Hatch, Miss Matte
Edwards. child of Mr. Maley and two
Mexicans.
at was about o'clock a. N. when the
food came. Just as the storm broke over
the city a torrent of water rushed down
the Leona river, Ovefruuning the banks
of the stream and flooding the lOwlands
on either side TO depth of several feet.
The east side of the city is built on low
land, and was directly in the path OF this
water. All the houses in this part of the
town were submerged. There were
a number Of miraculous escapes, and the
rescuers and the rescued performed many
heroic acts. AS soon as those IN the
higher part of the town were made aware
of the terrible food and dire Conse-
quences the work of rescuing began, and
was carried out as rapidly as possible in
the darkness of the night One Mexican
family, living on the ranch of Schwartz,
FIVE miles below town, are supposed to
have been lost, no vestige of the ranch
beng left IL is feared that lndianola's
history is repeated.
An earthquake shock of some seconds
duration was distinctly felt during the
night At one place near the city about
quarter of a mile of heavy cracks APP
peared on each side of the Leona river,
having apparently no bottom.
A track walker of the Southern Pacific
after wading through water up to his
neck, with his lantern elevated above his
head, succeeded in feeling his way far
enough east to intercept a westbound
train, and prevent its plunging INTO the
raging river where the railroad bridge
had been destroyed. News late this
evening reports that families living be-
low town were drowned. The names
have not yet been learned.
The loss TO the Southern Pacific Com
pany is enormous, forty miles of track
and many bridges having been washed
away. Over 100 carloads of material and
SEQ laborers left San Antonio for the
scene of the wreckage this evening The
damage to the Southern Pacific extends
this city. A rough estimate of the loss
to property in general and the railroad
company will, as far as known, reach
81 800 900
