Assistance Asked to Have the En-
closure Repaired.
Calhoun, Gordon County, Georgia, June
25.-Editor Morning News: Please allow
me the use of your representative journal
to call the attention of the gallant gentle
man of Georgia and the south to a matter
that is very near to the heart and con-
stantly on the minds of the members of
the Daughters of the Confederacy" to
the Gordon county chapter of which we
are attached. There are many hundred
confederate soldiers buried at Resaca,
near this place. Our mothers went to
work some years ago and enclosed the
burial ground with a neat, substantial
fence, but some miscreant set fire to
the fence and burned it up. The head
board at the graves, of wood, are fast de-
caying, and the general appearance of the
cemetery is a reflection upon the spirit of
so brave and gallant a people Is we Geor
gians have right to be by Inheritance.
Now Mr.. Editor we, the Daughters Of
the Confederacy, Sisterhood of Gordon
County," have resolved to rebuild that
fence and to place good, substantial stone
at each grave, on which we may mark the
name of the noble man who sleeps there,
but can never hope to record the glorious
honor of his service, his suffering or his
death, for a cause so righteous as was
ed and died Now, we call on the gallant
men Of Georgia to aid US. We do not ask
a cent from any other but gallant, honest
and worthy Georgians. Our hands would
spurn a ducat from the mean craven who
would dishonor the grave of his brother
or his father, with whimpering apologies
and whining regrets, lest he might offend
some one from Maine or Massachusetts
who Is here to drawl out something about
| the "new south" We want only honest
| money, and assure our friends that every
| cent given to us will be properly appro-
! priated, Acknowledged through the press
| and most thankfully received. Money may
! be sent by check, registered letter, post
! office order or express addressed TO me,
/ care of James NJ. Harlan q Co, or the
/ Bank of Calhoun. Allow me to say that
! there are several members of the First
| Georgia Regiment Volunteers from Sa-
/ vannah buried in the cemetery, and to
! ask that the newspapers do us the kind
ness TO reprint this letter or call atten-
ton to our work. In your city 1 refer you
TO Gen. Henry r. Jackson, Col. George
A. Mercer, Mr.. J. II. Estin, Col John
Screven, who are friends Of our cause and
served in the army with my grandfather.
Respectfully.

tiers Of the COnfederacy," Calhoun, Cor

KEENER's DOUBLE MURDER.
The Slayer of Two Sisters in Rabun
County to Plead Insanity.

County to Plead Insanity.
Atlanta, Ca, June ga special from
Gainesville, Ca, states that Seymour
Keener, the young man who killed his
two cousins, the Moore sisters, in Rabun
county last Sunday, was to-day removed
by the sheriff of Rabun TO Gainesville.
He took Keener from the jail at Clayton
early in the morning and drove across the
mountains, taking the blind paths as
much as possible to avoid pursuit. Keener
viii probably plead insanity. He said to
the sheriff on the mountain ride: "Some
of, my people have said that 1 am crazy,
but l do not think 1 am, although some
thing has seemed to be wrong in my head
for two or three years"
Keener states that he does not remem-
Der shooting the younger sister, Leone.
The older, named Arizano, he says that
he had intended to kill for three years.
He says that he never asked her to marry
him, because she treated him so indiffer-
emily that he did not think it worth his
while. A point which has never come
out before is that there was third sister
present. She took Keener by the arms
and prevented him from getting away.
Keener will be tried in August, at Clay
ton, for murder. 1t is said that there has
never been a legal execution in Rabun
county, although the county has seen
some dark crimes.

the investigating mind. But these fishes

DEFICIT OF THE TREASURY.
THE EXPENDITURES S43.501 900
MORE THAN THE RECEIPTS.

The Total Receipts During the Fis-
cal Year Just Closed SsI2.5OO. 900.
The Expenditures During the same
Period S35G.OOO. OOO-The Calendar
Year of 1895 Also to be Marked by
a Deficit.
Washington. June 29.-The fiscal year
1894. ended to-day. and from official and
semi-ofhcial figures obtained at the treas
ury department. which will not vary more
than $4,000 either way from the hgures
finally announced. the government reve-
nues and expenditures for the fiscal year
can be stated.
The receipts are as follows:
1SS4-5 .S3lZ, 10000
lSs5- 1sf'i22'0iS
1898 5o5.Slsb-S
The expenditures for the same year
were as follows;
lSs4-5 $3.50. 10000
1851 S6t1zls24s
1929 3S3 417,y54
The deficits for the past two fiscal years
were as follows:
1S94-5 $4,000
1871 - 80 Si3 .sl
For the year 1929 the excess OF re-
ceipts over revenue amounted 10 only s.
,674- Prior to that year. there had been
an excess in receipts over expenditures for
every fiscal year since 1866. the lowest eN-
cess in all those years up TO 1SS2-sS having
been in the year 1874 when the receipts eN-
ceeded the expenditures by only S2,5ii.Sl2.
For the present fiscal year ended to-day.
Secretary Carlisle on Dec. 3, 1854, estimated
that the deficiency would be S20,000,o0. AS
shown by the Official figures this estimate
was more than S23.eo0,0u9 out of the way
due largely to the elimination of the in
come tax from the revenue. Had the House
bin with sugar iron and coal placed on
the free list become a law. the actual de-
felt for the present fiscal year. instead of
being over 100000 would have been over
SEQ, 000.00O.
on Feb. >, 1885, Secretary Carlisle in an
estimate furnished TO congress stated that
for the calendar year, 1885, the surplus
revenue over expenditures would amount
to So, 563, 023 Six months of this period have
now passed and the deficit for this six
months is Sl6,75O,000.
Assistant Secretary Curtis, in a publish
ed statement, estimated that the deficit
up to Dec. 1. 1895. would be 35000.000. This
estimate was made after the income tax
had been declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court of the United States. 1t was
based upon the increased appropriations
made by the last congress, which 20 into
effect on July 1, and which include $500,
600 for the sugar bounty and increased
interest charges on account of the several
bond issues. aggregaung $l62, 100000. For
the month of July, which begins Monday,
it is estimated by the treasury, if the re-
ceipts continue normal, that the eXpendi-
lures will exceed the receipts by about S12,-
100000 or Sl3,000000, July being an interest
paying month, and the payments on ac-
count of pensions being also especially
heavy.
For the month of June, just ended. the
receipts have exceeded the expenditures
by nearly 100000 this being the first
month in which this is the case since last

A HEAVY RAIN AT AUGUSTA.
Considerable Damage Done to Corn
in the River Bottoms.

Augusta, Ca, June 29.-Augusta was
visited by very hard rain storm this af-
ternoon, accompanied by a strong wind
and considerable lightning. The wind and
beating rain probably did considerable
damage in the corn fields in the river bot
toms below the city.
The heavy rain, combined with n
faulty skyhght, flooded the government
building and did considerable damage to
the plastering in the United States court
room. Judge Speer had just completed his
session Of the United States court last
night and adjourned for the term.

IKAnsas Town Fades AWAY.

q J. ". Davis, member of the Kansas
State Legislature from Klowa County,
gives a doleful account of his sec
ton Of Kansas. and especially Of his
own town. Five years ago Green's
burg had $500 inhabitants; now
there are LIS. There Is bonded
debt on the municipality Of S45, 600,
and practically no valuation to pay it
with. These bonds we're issued
for water works, lighting and other
improvements demanded by the pro-
gressiye people who were trying TO
make a city. The few people now there
decline to pay their taxes, and lots
and buildings are being sold by the
County Treasurer, or rather that Off
cial tries to sell them. Farmers come
into town and buy tax certificates for
comparatively nothing. These they
desire for the buildings, which they
remove, caring nothing for the lots.
Five years ago Touring mill was
erected at a cost of $1,000, the city
giving 80, 900 in cash. Recently this
building was purchased for a few dol
lars and removed 10 Colorado. Small
as Greensburg now is its population
may soon be indicated by two figures
and then possibly by one. In the
meantime the owners of S45, 900
worth of bonds will be looking for
some one to pay interest and princi-
pal when due. Chicago Record.

Can't Telephone Through this Tunnel.

North Adams, Mass, continued to
be puzzled over q queer erankism Of
electricity in its vicinity. Although
when the great four and a half mile
Hoosac Tunnel was built on ores,
magnetic or otherwise, were encount-
tered, there was general expectation
that rich ore pockets would be found.
For an unexplained reason, not
an electrician has been discovered
who can send a telegraph message
on wire running from portal to por-
tai of that tunnel, be such wire run
inside of an ocean cable through the
huge cavern or out of it. Such mes
sages have to be sent on wires strung
on poles over the top of the mountain
fully nine miles, and that is the way
in-going and out-coming passenger
and freight trains are heralded to the
keepers of the two tunnel approaches.
In order to maintain this overland
line, a swath of woodlawn has to be
kept clear of trees and bushes directly
up the steep mountain side, and 1t re-
minds one of modern dude with a
well-defined central hair parting from
the forehead to the crown. Paper

1.-The NalkyIie is two minutes ahead, said
the oracles. 1t certainly looked it. They
headed on this tack until everybody got tired
watching them. Then suddenly the NaIkyrie
spun around on her heel and made for the
Defender. with the intention Of cutting across
her bows into the weather position. This was
regarded as an easy taing for the crowd.
Pretty soon the great houlla Of spectators
began to open their eyes. The Defender was
reaching along like ghost. She had found
her speed. On came the Nakyrie until close
on the lee bow of the Defender. Then the
Englshman discovered that he could not
cross. Round he came again like a top. He
had got the worst of it.
This was the last OF the Nalkyrie. Beaten
squarely out of the weather position, she
held on, bull dog fashion, to the Defenders
skirts. The latter rapidly widened the gap.
The breeze had freshened somewhat and the
water was running in long, weltering hills,
into which the yachts plunged their bow
spirits like sharp stiettos. After each one
of these plunges there would come a long
heave, then slow lean to the weight OF the
wind, and from their bows would spring the
CLASSY fash of green sheets of water fringed
with white plumes Of spray.
The great throngs had not ceased their
cheering since the Defender had crept ahead
Excitement ragged apace The heaps OF slain
took on a reincarnation. They were pale and
placid. but enthusiastic.
At 3.25 o'clock Hank Half with his keen
blue eye ranging up the high seas to wind
ward, knew that he had reached n point
where he could fetch the mark Around he
came. with the Englishman sharp after him.
The Defender was eaping through the seas
like bluefsh. and steadily increasing her
lead. The excursion fleet was banked up
disgracefully around the mark. The Defender
wheeled around and started on a bee line for
home at 3 $50 20. Just as she rounded Il

therefrOm for the other races. there is this
much to be said Nakyrie is beyond all ques-
ton the faster boat to windward in a very
light air. while in ANYTHING above an eight
mile an hour breeze the Defender can give
her cards and spades and defeat her hand
somely. The only possible exception to this
seems To be in the remote supposition that
Yalkyrie can outcarry the Defender i'll heavy
bree2es. This possibility, in view of De
tenders thoroughly demonstrated abilities to
lug sail when it blows, few will. however,
admit.
The general opinion is that the stronger
the breeze the greater will be the size Of the
Defenders victory. And it is further to be
said in the race that nothing but the most
favorable conclusions are to be drawn from
the Defenders magnificent showing in the
down-the- wind work to the finish. A gain OF
a third of a mile TO the mile is something
which is calculated to afford unbOunded en-
enlargement to Americans, and at the same
time to prove to them that previous estimate
OF Defenders speed with eased sheet have
been very close to correct ones.

Yankee.made Alaskan CuriOS.

Ex-State Senator L. C. VOORHEES, of
Suffer Creek returned, with his family
from visit to Alaska yesterday, on
the City of Pueblo.
There is one thing from which the
ordinary tourist cannot be weaned, )"
said he. He will buy curios
wherever he goes. That is the way
in Alaska. We hear good deal
about the fine carving done
by the native Alaskan. Now, the
fact is, the Alaskan knows mighty lit
tie about carving. The crack carver
of Sitka came down to San Francisco,
l was told, to learn the art of carving,
and now he turns out barrels of in
genious contrivances supposed by his
customers to be indigenous to the soil
of Alaska only. On boat which went
to juneau short time before we ar
rived, there were actually 5000 pounds
OF Alaskan curios, manufactured by
Americans at Brockton, Mass. San
