 The unrelenting criticism of Gov. John- ston's administration by certain pap rs and men is dorla for a purpose.

,. DEMOCRATIC PRESS APPROVES.

: 1. J .. =i lH-
 The, democratic press of the state has very generally mentioned with ap- proval the interview of Hon. John w. Tomlinson in last Sundays State Herald, in which he took the decided stand that there must be a firm adherence to the democratic principles for which the par ty struggled in the last state and national campaigns as the only way to hold the respect of the people and to win in fu- ture' contests
 MT. Tomlinson, as the head of the silver organization of the state, opposes any temporizing with. the opposition. He says there is no evidence within the dem- ocratic ranks of any such intention. He shows that all the talk about abandon irg silver comes from those outside of the party, or from those who, while :s- naming in the party, atts cksd necessarily during the campaign the platform on which their nominees, state and national, stood and fought the battles of the party.

ARObhAry.

A strange man appeared on Tues day at the residence of MT. W. J. Galbraith, corner of Sixth avenue and State street, and the entire family being absent, demanded from a servant, who was in the kitchen, admission to the house. The manner of the stranger was determined and threatening, but the servant had to refuse his request fo the reason that she had no key. On being re- fused, the intruder proceeded to the front door of the house and quickly effected an entrance by means, it is supposed, of duplicate key, but he had made but little progress in rausacking the house ere he was dis covered by the servant and fright ened away. His booty, as far as the family at present know, was but purse containing several dollars. Other honey was in the drawer from which the purse was taken, but the thief failed to find it.

A RUNAWAY.
Two Persons Have Miraculous Escape
 From Frightened Horse.

MT, Marx Mitchell and Miss Lizzie Cook, the latter a clerk at the Racket Store, had a narrow escape from runaway animal at l:45 o'clock this afternoon on West Sec ond avenue. They were returning from dinner and driving along in a slow gallop in front of the Mercan- tile Company when part of the harness became loose, at which the horse took fright and started down Second avenue at a precipitous rate of speed. In front of the Nickel Store the horse took to the sidewalk and ran down the walk to MeGau- ghy's hardware store, where the wheels of the buggy were caught between some heavy hardware and held until the shafts broke loose, when the horse continued his flight down the street, Bystapders then assisted Mr. Mitchell and Miss Cook out of the buggy, both oi whom escaped without scratch.
 Messrs. Tom Hawkins and T. D Johnson attempted to stop the frightened animal in front of the Racket Store, and received slight bruises for their trouble.
 It was a very remarkable runa way, and that the two occupants oi the buggy escaped without injury is almost miraculous.

stoiid Confession of the Cahaba Train
 Wrecker.

stoiid Confession of the Cahaba Train Wrecker.
 Samuel Palatka, the Hungarian tramp arrested at Eatonton, Putnam county, for the wreck of the Birming-
 ham mineral passenger train on the Cakaba river bridge in Alabama three weeks ago, by which twenty
 three lives were lost, has confessed
 to the terrible crime.
 Palatka was brought to Atlanta
 today on his way to Birmingham,
 where he will be held for trial. A
 reward of $10.O0O has been offered for
 the arrest of the train wreckers, and
 in the face of Palatka's confession
 there seems no doubt but that the
 right man has been caught.
 Palatka wrecked the train in order
 that he might rob the bodies of the
 passengers and his confession bears
 out the theory formed by the detect
 ives and officers of the railway companies at the start. Palatka
 had removed rail from the trestle
 and then secreted himself in the
 bushes near by, and when the train
 with it's load of human freight
 crashed through and before the fire
 started among the debris had reach-
 ed the bodies of the victims the news
 of the catastrophe reached farmers
 living in the vicinity, and Palatka
 fled empty handed, so he says.
 Palatka is a fiend in expression and looks. His countenance is re- volting, and he talked of his terrible crime in a most stolid and indifferent way. He seems a man entirely with out human feelings. He spoke of the wreck without the least visible sign of emotion.
 II did it." he said. ''L wanted money. It's nobody's business what I wanted it for. did it. I found it very easy. I say this for the benefit of those who want to wreck trains. It is just as easy to wreck a pass enger train as it is to wreck freight train. There's no money in a freight train. l did not get anything out of the wreck. I moved a rail, put It across the track, and the whole busi- ness seemed to fall. There were < plenty of dead folks with money : one man had $5O0-but before Icould get at it the live ones got up, and then the crowds came. Iskipped out then"
 "Tne officers made me confess at the end of a shotgun. But it's all thorough and true. l waited an hour for that train to wreck. 1t was funny looking sight the way ] it tumbled off--like it was in a hurry 10 get to the bottom of the ravine. I don't see how anybody escaped. It's bad drop, you can bet. and a lonesome place"
