THE report comes that the
miners amid loud cheers, at Grip
pie Creek, Col, last week, rejected
the mine owners proposition of
$685. per day of eight hours. Yet
there are thousands of men starv-
ing and would gladly work harder
than that for one dollar per day, if
they had chance, so as to keep
those depending upon them from
starving. We suppose the miners
had rather &c nothing as $685..
A good cure for such people is to
let them starve a while.

REPUBLICAN EDITORS.

The following is what editor Nc
Carron, of the Athens Athenian
has tc say of some of the republi-
can editors of this state. Mr.. Nc
Canon, edits one of the ahlest pa
pers in the state and is talked OF
as the next republican candidate
for Congress in his district. All
the news paper men in the state
would be for him as he is an able
man and a fluent speaker. We
would like to move up in his dis
trict long nough to work for him.
Here are his comments:-"The

lasted from 10 a. IN. to 2:30 p. m.

which was that OF two state cen

THE TIMES cannot but admire
the nerve and GOODNESS of Hon. III b.
Lindsay. When both the HOuk and
Gibson men were up to white heat
and his POLITICAL eXistance was
threatened he decided upon a wise
course and "stuck" by it in spite
of the wild dashing of the political
waters. Many man on the spur
of the moment, would have rushed
into some mistake, but he quietly
expressed his private opinion as to
who was the naminec and decided
to fight his own battles with his
paper. He could scarcely be ex-
pected to fight either faction unless
compelled to by assaults upon him
self. 1t is said that a fault con-
f Il is h-lf redressed, so the
TIMES confesses that before we fully
understood Mr.. Lindsay's position
we We're somewhat unreasonable
but now so long as he occupies the
ground he does, we will try to
make reparation for any wrong
we may have done him. We want
to treat every body fair and honest,
so this statement is made.

n stale and foolish SANDER against
republican papers that do not give
him their support, is evidence that
he is not sure that this offspring Of
his brain is legitimate child. His
assumption that the legitimate
republican press of the district, the
newspapers whose time Of publ
cation is not limited to political
campaigns, because they do not
respond with hearty amen to the
absurd conclusions of six men with
collars around their necks, have
been subsidized in the interest of the
regularly nominated republican
candidate for congress is too
ridiculous for anything.
With all due respect, and with
out the slightest unkindness, it
must be conceded that the above
slanderous charge against the
republican newspapers of the
second congressional district
sounds more like the peevish utter
ance of an angry schoolboy who
cries over the loss of toy. For his
own sins of omission and of COM
mission, that have brought defeat
upon his head, he holds others re-
sponsible, and imputes corrupt mo-
tives without the slightest evidence
to support absurd and ill-natured
charges. Launching an enterprise
that can lay claim to nothing
higher than purely selfish motive,
he seeks to drag all newspaper en-
terpises down to the degrading
level of a personal campaign organ.
Speaking for itself, John HOuk
knows that the Journal treated

THE new catalogue of the State
University at Knoxville, which is
just out, shows a prosperous con-
diliOn of that institution. Not
withstanding the hard times, there
has been large increase in the at
tendance. The total number of
students in the academic depart
ment this year reaches three
hundred and thirtyfour, or sixty
eight more than were entered last
year. TIE Teachers department
has nearly doubled. The Law de.
partment has more than doubled
This is the first year that women
have been regularly admitted, and
tifty-one have availed themselves
of the opportunities offered them
This number will doubtless he
doubled next year. The improve.
ment in buildings, apparatus, and
everything, is marked. The sum-
mer school begins July 9th and bids
fair to be largely attended.

BUCKET SHOP DOORS SHUT.
The Raids of the Police Closing Them
Up at PittsburR.

Pittsburg. Pa, Oct. SO.-As a result Of
the crusade against the bucket shops"
inaugurated last Saturday night, two of
these concerns have already gone out of
business.
The Fourth Avenue Stock Company To-
Gated in the Dallmeyer block, guns bust
ness yesterday and neither of NE proprie-
tors can be located this morning.
The North American, in the Ferguson
block, on Third avenue, of which c. l..
Reno was manager, has also ceased to do
business.
The tickers have been removed from
both the above concerns and nothing re-
mains to-day except the blackboards and
painted signs on the doors and walls.
The other shops still open are almost de-
serted by their habitues who are afraid
TO risk a raid from the police, which is
liable to occur at any hour. 1t is stated
that several of the smaller concerns will
close their doors at the end of the month
Matters about discretionary pools"
are very quiet to-day and no business is
being transacted. There are many sensa-
tional reports afloat concerning these
places and their patrons. One is that a
prominent churchman, treasurer of the
board Of trustees, is to-day anxiously
seeking the loan of a sum sufficient to
make good considerable shortage in his
accounts with his church. The deficit
was caused by his having used the church
money in speculation.

GRAND LODGE OF GEORGIA.
Five Hundred masons Rally at the An.
nual Meeting at Macon.

Macon, Ca, Oct. 2O-The one hundred
and eighth annual session of the
Grand Lodge OF Georgia Free and Ac-
cepted Nasons convened in Masonic hall
on Mulberry street this morning, with
Acting Grand Master John p. Shannon OF
Elberton in the chair
Representatives from $50 lodges were
present on the floor when the grand sec
rotary, A. N. Woolhin, called the roll.
They represented over 10000 Masons More
representatives arrived tonight, swelling
the number to 800. The attendance on this
session is the largest in the history of the
Grand Lodge of Georgia. Many Masons
from various parts OF the state are pres
ent who do not represent any lodge. but
are here simply to exchange fraternal
greetings with the brethren.
The opening Of the grand lodge is al
ways an animated occasion. but to-day a
spirit of sadness pervaded the lodge room
as each representative present noticed the
absence Of Grand Master Davidson, who
had so often called them together and
whose portrait was hanging on the wall
draped In mourning. After the lodge was
formally opened and all preliminary bust
ness arranged, the acting grand master,
John I. shannon. arose and made plain
and pointed report of his work since the
death of Grand Master Davidson. He re-
viewed the progress Of Masonry in Geor-
gia jurisdiction during the past year in
an interesting manner and said eleven
dlspensat1onS had been granted to new
lodges in the last grand communication,
making the total number of lodges in
Georgia now in active work, exactly 400.

the state is evident, ne said, and many

the membership is rapidly increasing. 1t
is highly probable that the confederate
veterans home in Atlanta will be bought
for masonic orphans home. The grand
master so recommended.
The second days session Of the grand
lodge VIII open tomorrow morning at
O'Clock, and an effort will be made to close
the session in two days. The first bust
ness before the lodge will be the election
of grand officers, which will take up the
greater part of the day. After the cleo
ton OF officers, reports of the committees
will be read and general business trans
acted. There was no afternoon session
this afternoon, and the time was spent
in committee work.

ENDED IN THREE ROUNDS.
Stanton Abbott of England Knocks
Out Charles Gehring.

Baltimore, Oct 30.-Stanton Abbott of
England and Charles Gehring, ex-amateur
champion of the United States, fought at
the Academy of Music tonight The fight
was announced by Referee H. Lee Clarke,
to be a siX-round go. From the start
Gehring began to force the fighting and
the 1000 spectators applauded every time
he landed a blow. Abbott protected his
face with his hands, and the body blows
he got were when he was retreating. The
first two rounds looked like honors would
be even at the end of the sixth round.
Abbott was waiting for an opening to
get in his right, and led Gehrng on. At
the beginning of the third round, he got
the opening he wanted and landed a stag
gering blow upon Behring's neck. Geh-
ring then became a little more cautious
and again Abbott became apparently
he got the opening he wanted he made a
half right arm swing and caught Geh-
ring under the ear. Gehring fell but was
up again in eight seconds. Abbott meas
ured his distance, and again let his right
go. This time he caught Gehring on the
point of the jaw and Gehring went down
and out.
Gehring won the amateur championship
in New York City at Madison Square
Garden last March, whipping four men
in two nights.
The police began to climb into the ring
after the first knock down, but not in time
to prevent the knock out blow.

ROBBERS IN a JEwELRY STORE
The Man in Charge Locked in the Vault
and $4,000 Stolen.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 3O.-Two robbers
made bold play this afternoon in down
town jewelry store, which Melted them
about $1,000 worth of watches and jewelry,
and the police have not caught them yet.
Soon after o'clock c.. w. Brethaur, the
senior member of the wholesale jewelry
firm of Brethaur & Co, Il Washington
street, left the office to go to Marshall
Fields retail store, around the corner
and left his son in charge. The Office is
on the first floor of the building, in plain
sight of the occupants of the big office
buildings. Young Brethaur was bending
over a show case when the robbers en-
tered. One carried a revolver and the
other brandished a murderous looking
piece of lead pipe. The jeweler was or
dered to hold up his hands, which he did
and then he was told to enter the vault
the door of which stood open. He hes
itated, and he was thrown in by a robber
gripping his throat. The door was closed
and the desperate thieves bundled the
contents of the show cases and the cash
box into a sack The work occupied
only a few minutes, and when the father
of the imprisoned jeweler returned he sus-
pected nothing. A commercial traveller
soon came in, and hearing the noise of
pounding on the vault door, the discov-
cry of the exhausted prisoner and the
robbery was made, but there was no trace
of the robbers.
The police are inclined to doubt the re-
port of the robbery. 1t is alleged that
the elder Brethauer does not account
for the thirty minutes interval of time in
story about his absence from the store.
A dentist who occupied a room next to
the jewelry firms place of business,
separated only by a thin partition, says
he heard no cries for help from young
Brethauer.
