moment man on either side emerged
from his cover he was at once the tar

sudden sally to Join neighbor. An
Englishman who had long watched the
rock and was becoming sick with hope

daring one down. So delighted was no

Incidsnts Concerning BeginninE OF
Line Of Boats.
The Collins line OF American steam
ers was established in 1S47. Two year.
later, on April q, 1S49, its first YES
sci, the steamer Atlantic, sailed from
New York. The line was withdrawn II
1857, soon after the government hat
refused to renew the mail contrac
with it. The history Of its steamers
briefly told. is as follows: On Septem
Der q, 1854, the Arctic came into col
lision with the French steamer Vests
and was sunk, only few Of her pas
sengers being saved; on January %
1856, the Pacific sailed from Liverpool
with 240 persons on board, including
the wife Of Mr.. Collins, and was nevel
heard Of afterward; the Atlantic was
broken up in New York in 1879; the
Adriatic, built at Greenpoint, N. Y. BY
Steers, was sold to the Galway com
pany, and was afterward used as g
coal hulk in England; the Baltic waf
in the government service during the
civil war as supply vessel, and was
afterward sold at auction; her ma
chinery being removed and sold as ole
iron, she was converted into a sailing
ship and used as a grain carrying YES
sci between San Francisco and Great
Britain until 1880, when she was bro
ken up. When the civil war began the
New York and Havre Steam Naviga-
ton company, to which the Fulton
and Arago were chartered, was with
drawn; the Arago was then sold to the
Peruvian government, while the Full
ton became a United States transport
vessel for awhile. but she soon became
useless and was broken up.-New York

CLAY ADDRESSES
GREAT AUDIENCE.
Georgia's Brainy Young Senator in
Americas.
A MASTERPIECE OF oRAToRY.
Captivating Completely the Largest
Audience Ever Assembled N the
Americas Opera House Was intro
duced by Hon. w. A. Dodson.

While the graduating exercises last
night were most interesting, it was left
to Senator A. S. Clay to divide with
the beautiful young women and young
men who had received diplomas the
honors of the occasion, though this
was not Of his seeking and was ''hon-
ors thrust upon him" by the vast audi
enee, charmed by his matchless elo
quence,
Not In years. certainly not since
Tennessee's own Bob Taylor captivated
the city, has an audience been swayed
by such diction and word painting.
It had been arranged that Mr.. Clays
address should be delivered in the
morning, but the extremely inclement
weather rendered a postponement nee
essary. This facG was not regretted
by those who heard him last night,
In fact, Jupiter PluYius arranged
the programme most excellently.
When the valedlctory had been de-
livered by Miss Dunn, Hon. W. A.
Dodson presented to the expectant
throng Georgia's brill ant and able
junior representative in the United
States senate, taking occasion to pay
an eloquent tribute to the dist nguish-
ed speaker.
Senator Clay was at great disadvar-
tage in beginning his address at such
late hour, but not word was lost by
his interested audience.
At this (midnight) hour his theme,
that of our country, its progress and
it's future, can be scanned but briefly.
He urged that the ideas of good goY
eminent should be inculcated in the
student mind, and that they should be
taught that ours, the republic, was the
most benefcent, the most liberal and
altogether the best in the world.
There was nothing stilted or studied
in the address. The speaker held no
notes, and his utterances were spon-
taneous but eloquent withal.
His tribute to woman was a gem in
its conception, a word painting that
has rarely been equaled by any speak
er here. Their higher education he
considered as most important.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Clay spoke
so late his eloquence held the audi
ence closely, and regret was expressed
when the finish was reached and the
feast of oratory ended. No other was
ever more appreciated, and Senator
Clay will long be the toast of Americus.
He had many friends here before;
all Americus unltes today in paying
him distinguished honor

Is Burned.

The residence of Mr.. George Van
Riper, 405 Barlow street, caught fire al
s o'clock last night from some I'M
known source and ere the department
extinguished the flames the roof had
been partially destroyed.
The fire started upon the roof and
was burning briskly when discovered
by the neighbors,
There had been no fire in the kitchen
range since noon, Mrs. Van Ripper
stated last night, and she is wholly at
a loss to understand how the flames
started. She was at the opera house
when the alarm was sounded.
The department made a splendid run
to the scene.
Practically all the furniture and eff
fects were removed. Two streams
were turned upon the roof and in few
minutes the fire was extinguished

JURY DECLARED HEYs GUILTY
But Recommended a Misdemeanor
Punishment.

entity, was the verdict rendered by
the jury in the case of the State versus
E. L. Heys, charged with embezzle-
ment, but this verdict was greatly
tempered by the recommendation of a
mlsdemeanor punishment
Instead of imprisonment, it may
mean a lighter punishment in the pay
ment of fine by the defendant.
This case, which has aroused much
interest on account of the prominence
of the parties involved in the prosecu-
ton and defense, was concluded at 5
o'clock yesterday.
The taking of testimony was finished
the afternoon previous, and at the
opening of the court yesterday the
argument of counesl was begun. This
consumed the day, practically, the case
going to the jury about o'clock.
Mr.. James R. Williams opened for
the defense in a very able argument
and was followed by Messrs Blalock
and Fort for the state. Mr., Joseph
B. Hudson, for the defense, had the
conclusion.
After celebrating an hour the jury
returned verdict of guilty, recon-
mending misdemeanor punishment.
This may mean Imprisonment not ex-
ceeding term of twelve months, or
six months in jail, or fine not exceed
ing 81, 300, it being in the discretion of
the court to impose, a. his discretion,
any part of the punishment.
And the limit was given by the court
in this instance
Judge Littlejohn imposed a sentence
of twelve months Imprisonment, or a
fine of one thousand dollars. Mr..
Heys attorneys at once gave notice of
a motion for new trial, which Will be
heard shortly.
And thus ended for the present a eel
ebrated case in Americas.
