RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.


The names placed before the conven-
tion for the office Of railroad commits
sioner were j. A. Sigh, H. A. Thon1-
as. W. D. Evans, w. II. Yeldell, J: G.
Wilbo1n, J. W. Gray, Jasper Miller
and J.H. Koon. Each delegation
voted for three men. One delegate
wanted to know If they could plump.
After the vote had been taken, the
widest confusion obtaihed for half
hour. The vote was hard to handle
without complications, but 1t was
made perfect puzzle by the changes
of vote announced every moment from
the floor. There was no end OF con-
fusion and more wire pulling than one
could see in half life time ordinarily.
The chairman was powerless against
the Bedlam. No two delegates were In
their seats. 1t Is impossible at thi
late hour to give the detailed vote as
originally taken. The summary of the
original vote, however, is as follows:
Sligh, 1923, thomas, 1853; Evans, 2l3;
Yeldell, isl; Wilborp, 152; Gray, DO;
Miller, "a; Koon, 9. The result as an.
nounced finally was as follows: J A.

Evans, 2O7; W. H. Yeldell, LIS; j. Z.
Wilborn, 1877; J. W. Gray, 20; Jasper

you-yea, the redemption Of all who sit

yOu-yea, IQo ro0oupIluu W I'LL WIN eIb
in your churches.
I tell you today, my friends, Of a great
salvation. Do you understand what 1t
is to have a Saviour? He took your
place. He bore your sins. He wept
YOUR sorrows. He is here now to save
your soul. A soldier, worn out IN his
country's service, took to the violin as
a mode of earning his living. He was
found in the streets of Vienna playing
his violin, but after awhile his hand be.
came feeble and tremulous, and he could
no more make music. One day, while
he sat there weeping, man passed
along and said, "My friend, you are too
feeble. Give ME your VIOLIN" and he
took the man?s violin and began to dis.
course most exquisite music, and the
people gathered around IN larger and
larger multitudes, and the aged man held
his hat, and the coin poured in and
poure ! in until the hat was full. "Now,"
said the man who was playing the violin,
"put that coin in your pockets" The
coin was put IN the old mans pockets.
Then he held his hat again, and the
viollnist played more sweetly than ever
and played until some of the people
wept and some shouted. And again the
hat was filled with coin. Then the
violinist dropped the instrument aud
passed off, aud the whisper went: "Who
is il? Who is it?' and some one, just
entering the crowd, said: ''Why, that
is Butcher; the great violinist, known all
through the realm, Yes, that is the
great violinists."
The fact was, he had just taken that
mans place, and assumed his pro7ertY,
and borne his burden, and played his
music, and earned hls livelihood, and
made sacrifice for the poor old man. So
the Lord Jesus Christ comes down, and
he finds us in our spiritual penury, and
across the broken strings of his own
broken heart be strikes strain of infin.
ties music, which wins the attention of
earth and heaven. He takes our power
ty. He plays our music. He weeps our
sorrow. He dies our death. A sacrifice
for you. A sacrifice for me.
Oh, will you accept this sacrifice nov?
I do not single ouL this and that man
and this and that woman. But say all
may come. The sacrifice is 80 great,
all may be saved. Does it not seem to
you as If heaven was very near? I can
feel its breath on my cheek. God is near.
Christ Is near. The Holy Spirit is near.
Minlstering angels are near, your glori.
fed Kindred in heaven near, your Chris.
tan father near, your glorified mother
near, your departed children near. Your
redemption is near.

Death by Drowning.

ATLANTA, Sept. 18.-During the
sudden and unusal downpour OF rain
which fell in this city, Mrs. Drew Tye,
wife of Mr.. Drew Tye, who has heen
one of the leading market men OF this
city for many years, was returning TO
this city from her husbands slaughter.
house few miles out of town and met
a tragic death by drowning. Mrs. TYe
was in top buggy and had a negro
manservant driving; and when near the
city limits they came to small stream
which crossed the road, and which, only
a few hours before, they had crossed
without difficulty, but which was now
swollen to tremendous proportions by
the sudden and heavy rain. which still
fell in torrents. 1t had grown nearly
dark, owing to the nearness of night and
tho heavy clouds and binding sheets OF
rain, and, Notwithstanding, it could be
seen that great stream of water was
rushing across the road, they drove Into
the current without tho least apprehen.
sion of danger, and not until the buggy
was swept down the stream did they re.
alizs their peril. Then it was too late.
The occupants were thrown out and
soon Mrs. Tye was carried under the
current and swept out of sight. The
driver was fortunate in catching to some
bushes that grew on the brink, and held
on for life, while Mrs. Tye battled for a
few moments with the mad, rushing
waters, and went down IN sight of the
negro who was powerless 10 save her.
All night a constant search was kept up
for the body oft the unfortunate woman,
but not until after tho sun had risen
were the remains discovered. Tho horse
succeeded in freeing himself from the
harness and made his way to land.

Ramble, the Belvidere, the menagerie,

Of the great Metropolis who were out
for an airing and little modest rec
reation on that lovely summers day.
Through the drives smart equipages
OF the rich rumbled along with their
tinkling OF silver trappings, their
show Of gay livery, their footmen and
their proud occupants. Over the
bridlepaths dashed the fine steeds
of those who knew how TO sit noble
animals back handsomely. 1t was a
brilliant panorama. There were the
steeds with the banged tails, the
pretty horses with the bushy names !;

A CONCERT ON CENTRAL PARK
MALL.
Perfume FILLED the Air and Mature

Smiling softly, sweet and sunny
was the gentle breath that filled the
Metropolis with its gladstone spirit.
Fair was everything-the earth, the
sky, the bright faces of the prone
naders, the doings and the goings-on
of everything human, worldly, di-
vine. Thousands were out upon the
streets in their best array. The
parks and the resorts OF public re-
creation were thronged as the bud
ding season hasn't seen them before.
The frolic and chatter Of children,
mingled with the more sober talk of
their elders, with faint snatches OF
song from'gay parties passing on in
lhe distance through the mazes of the
drives and the secluded promenades.
with that buzz and hum of happy con-
tent that seems to come even from
the trees and the thicknesses of the
shrubbery.
Central Park was in its glory. Not
one OF its $40 acres failed to reflect
some species Of merriment. It's lakes
and reservoirs, its three dozen bridges
and archways, no two alike; its tun~
nels, its woods, with their half
million trees, vines anJ shrubs its
rustic seats, with room for ten thou
sand persons; its 600 secluded arbors,
overgrown and concealed from the
common eye by vines and the green
est of grcens-all had their testimony
to offer that summer had come
again, and that the people were well
aware of it.
From noon till sunset the rare
treasures OF the Metropolitan Mu-
scum Of Art were examined by thou
sands. That ancient old obelisk, that
stands with such stiff dignity just
outside the museum, was surrounded

some TO other hooks and coy corners
that they know so well, for all Of

and all have their favorite spots.
There is the German section-the

the tennis grounds and northwest to
the Blockhouse; then the Hebrews
are always to be found around the

Stronger Shafts Needed.

The weak point in the modern
ocean steamship, as developed by the
competition in the greyhound "
line, appears TO be the propeller
shaft; and this is the particular OBJ
ject to which engineering inventive
skill should address itself. That a
shaft can be made which would be
capable Of withstanding any strain,
however tremendous, that tempestu-
Gus seas might hurl upon IL will not
be doubted by scientific minds; and
IL it be possible in the scientific
sense il should be attainable practi-
cally. Success would not only in
sure great profit to the inventor Of
such shaft, but by its use the ocean
voyager would be relieved from an
ever-present source OF danger

till il is studied, and watched, and
dreamed over, as those old hoary
statues have been dreaming over it
now for decades and decades, till they
begin to know the return Of summer
by the melody that floats around
them on Sunday afternoon, and seem
to welcome it with a gleam OF bright
ness and intelligence upon their
hard, stolid faces, such as is never
seen there on the frozen days of grim,
gray winter.
On rushes the band with never a

Corn plasters are very useful. The

them, which softens the corn. IL
