Heavenly Father to remove by
death Mrs. Annie C. Peyton from
our midst, we the teachers and Of
fcers of the Mission School desire
in token of our affectionate respect
for her memory to adopt and place
on record the following:
Resolved, That we gratefully
recognize the Divine agency which
directed the talent of Mrs. Pevton
into the work of uplifting and in
structing the mind of the young

Wreck on The Southern.

West bound passenger train
number thirty-five on the Southern
Railway was wrecked last Sunday
morning. The wreck which oc-
CURED on a "fll," over which the
Coalburg trestle is approached was
caused by the engine striking
number Of COWS which were on the
track. In striking the first COW the
engine sustained no damage, as the
high rate Of speed at which the tram
was moving knocked her clear of
the track, but engineer Jones, who
was in charge Of the engine had put
on his air brakes before the second
animal was struck, and the force of
the blow was broken. The engine
was fearfully smashed up, and, to-
gether with the mail car was thrown
down the embankment. Engineer
Jones stuck to his post to the last,
and when he finally jumped sus-
tanned some very painful, though
not severe injuries. A wrecking
train was sent out from Birming-
ham and the wreck was soon clear
ed away, the train arriving in this
city about nine O'Clock Sunday
night. None of the coaches were
thrown from the track and none Of
the passengers were injured, though
some were very badly frightened.

Rev. w. 7. Boiling, officiating.

DR.. Boiling has been compliment
ed by the Cincinnati Elks by being
invited, for three years in success
sion to deliver the address at their
annual memorial service, and this
year the Covington, KY, EIks have
engaged him to deliver the address
for them. Covington is just across
the Ohio river from Cincinnati, and
it would seem that DR.. Boiling is
popular with the Elks on both sides
Of the river. He was formerly pas
tor of Scott Street Methodist church
in Covington, in which the memo
rial services will be held this year
on December 4th. The subject of
DR.. Boiling for this occasion will be
"Sorrowing Yet Rejoicing" and
our readers may have it on his re-
turn, as he promises to let The
COMMERCIAL have it.

is entirely erroneous. The play

A Mvsterinns Robbery.

A rather mysterious robbery took
place at the residence of Mrs. J. W.
Benoit in the north eastern portion
of the city, Wednesday night. Mrs.
Benoit's son, Mr.. James Benoit,
who runs a suburban store near
the old encampment grounds, left
his place of business about nine
o'clock Monday night, and started
home, carrying with him eighty
dollars, which he had taken from
his cash drawer. The money was
in a pocket book, which was secure
ly bound with a rubber baud. Up
on reaching home Mr.. Benoit I'M
dressed and retired, leaving the
pocket book in his trousers pocket.
When he awoke next morning the
pocket book was where he left it,
but the money was missing. Mr.,
Benoit slept mi a room on the
ground floor, and his room could
have easily been entered by thief,
but he heard no noise during the
night. The robbery remains a
mystery.

nent architect of Atlanta, was in

Herr Bebel made some OF the men,
bers OF the German Reichstag excess
sively uncomfortable few days ago
by reminding them, in the course Of o
revolutionary speech, that they held
very different views regarding abso-
Iutism fifty years ago than those held
by them to-day. There is no doubt
that great deal that Herr Bebel said
was merely for effect. No one believes
that q revolution is imminent in Ger
many, even though the socialistic
party appears to be gaining strength.
So long as the material prosperity
OF Germany continues there will be no
change. The middle classes, while
prospering as they are at present, will
remain conservative, and the masses
can effect nothing without at least
having the sanction Of the people OF
substance. 1t will take hard times,
perhaps a compile prostration Of in
.dustry, to make German manufaotur-
ers and merchants realize that stand
ing army and big navy are not the
blessings they are sometimes cracked
mp to be.

SPAIN BECOMES DESPERATE
NAY ATTEMPT SUPREME EFFORT
TO DEFEAT DEWEY.
HER RESERVES ARE ORDERED OUT
According To Dispatches the Government
Has No Intention Of Allowing Dewey
To Rest On His Laurcls.

Special dispatches from Madrid say
IL is officially declared that the gov
ernment has no intention Of allowing
Rear Admiral Dewey to rest upon his
laurels. About 100000 men Of the re-
serves Of the Spanish army have been
ordered to rejoin the colors, and 1t is
added that q formidable expedition is
being organized for dispatch to the
Philippine islands.
This expedition, as has been stated,
will seek q short cut through to the
Indian ocean by way OF the Suez ca
nal. This route would moan the ira.
versing Of the Mediterranean, 900
miles in length--to Port Said, where
the feet would reach the Red sea by
means Of the canal. Out Of the Red
sea the feet would pass through the
Gulf Of Alden to the Arabian sea, cross
ing which, hugging the Asiatic coast,
II might probably take the straits OF
Malacca, and turning north toward
the China sea, would find itself Of the
Philippines and in front Of Manila.
Serious as the Spaniard may seem 70
be about such course, there are still
many difficulties in the way. II they
mean to mass their forces of the Phil
ippines, II carries with II the complete
abandonment OF their American pos
sessions, which loss Ia to Recovered at
home by an apparent ''glotious' vic
tory in recovering the Asiatic islands.
As America is weddef TO Cuba, and
not to the Philippines, it is possible
that Admiral Dewey might be ordered
to withdraw and thus concentrate
American strength. Spain has semi
revolutions at home, her American
possessions are now as good as gone,
and il she could regain the Philippines
in some manner which would appease
her people at home, she would have
made the best of bad bargain.

The United States, in spite OF the
great gold development in Africa, con-
tinues the first of all countries in gold
production, and will probably hold the
lead, predicts the Atlanta Journal.
This is the more probable because OF
the prospect of large development of
che gold fields of the South. Gold
mining has increased rapidly in
Georgia during the past two years and
there are now thirty gold mines in
this State being successfully operated.
The output of several of them is quite
large and increasing. Georgia is des.
tined to take her place among the
great gold-producing States of the
Union.
