When California was reached, she
yielded her place to Pennsylvania.
DR.. w. W. Hague took the platform

The names of I. H. Amos, Oregon,
Geo. w. Carroll, Texas, B. F. Parker,

that Mr.. Carroll's nomination be made
unanimous, which was done. Then
more enthusiasm as the campaign cry,

the great hail.
Then A. A. Stevens, Pennsylvania,

understood how it all happened. No
body, however, said IT told you So"
On the contrary, frequent remark

He was followed by G. H. Poole of New

Thursday Forenoon.
The Platform committee being I'M
able to report, Chairman Stewart
made the national committees appeal
for campaign fund. This work was
skillfully done but nevertheless would
have fallen fiat but for. the heroism of
the rank and file. 1t was an hour of
enthusiastic self sacrifice. It was al
so characterized by many deeply in
teresting incidents. AS one and an
other name, known to the party was
announced, there would be cry that
he should rise.

The meetings held in the interim of
convention sessions for the organization
OF Women's Prohibition clubs were well
attended and much interest was mani
tested.
The Irvington, Ind, and Pontiac ILL.,,
brass bands did themselves proud The
Ewing College quartet, the Meneleys and
in fact all who sang also covered them
selves with glory.
There We're. said to be about forty lady
delegates. The dailies said a man was
on hand to see that they were voted
non eligible, but if so he got discourage
ed before he began operations.
We saw only two persons wearing
badges who also smoked. One of these
tried to stir up big row in the con-
vention and came near getting into the
hands Of the sergeant-a arms by direc-

DR.. Swallow was unable to attend the
convention, very greatly to his disap-

At 1880 Joseph P. Tracy, Chicago,

1870, the committee would meet in the

Immediately on reassembling the
Committee on Platform announced
that it had agreed on a report. 1t was
read and without the dotting of an

of discussion, was unanimously adopt

wrought such disaster at Pittsburg,
brought the convention quickly to it's

SOUTHERN GAINS ITS POINT

the right to make underneath cross

ing the road to make any promise as
to freight rates for Atlanta, as was
demanded by the Atlanta Freight Blu

The commissioners considered that
as the Southern had purchased the
land and begun these improvements
before the freight rates question came
up. it would be unfair to make any
such requirement as was asked by the
freight bureau. The commissioners
action has been the subject of some
little criticism by those who have

REWARD FOR UNKNOWN
SLAYER OF UNKNOWN MAN.
state VIII Pay 500 for Solution of
Ebert County Mystery.


Ebert County Mystery.
Atlanta, oct. IA reward of $500
was offered by the Governor to-day in
a rather peculiar case.
It is for the arrest of the unknown
party or parties who killed an unknown
man at an unknown time in Ebert
county.
Late in September the body of well
dressed white man was found in the
Broad river near Bells bridge in FL
bert county. His hands were bound,
his skull crushed and sack of rocks
was tied around his body.
The man was about As years old, and
is supposed to have been a medicine
vender following RobinsOn's circus.
The initials on his collar were &c.
A. L." and there were tattoo marks
on both arms.
The sack of rocks tied to the mans
body had been gathered by man who
proposed to place them around the
grave Of his little boy, but had left
them near the bridge until he might
pass that way with his wagon.
The murder was evidently commit
ted by persons living in the county
and for the purpose of robbery.

err State House officials, because of the
fact that it goes to the president of the
Senate for consolidation by the Leg

Gov. Terrells total vote was 67,705.
This is 1,175 votes below the head of
the ticket which was led by Secretary

In Operation at the Blanchard
Limestone Quarry.
RUN BY ELECTRICITY
Commissioner Stewart Makes a
a Good Beginning on
County Street,

The stone crusher plant which n
situated at the Blanchard quarry on
the extension OF Morgan st is now
completed and in full working order.
The crusher, which was located or
Rockwood's island and used to grind
up hard heads taken from the Branch.
was moved to its present location soma
time ago.
Under the direction of Street Com
missioner Stewart new bin with a
capacity of 10 tons and 27 foot ele-
vator have been put into position. A
suitable building has been erected ia
enclose the motor. This will also be
used for place in which to keep the
tools belonging to the village.
d. K. Moore, to whom the contract
for furnishisg crushed stone for the
streets was awarded, has had Ia
horse power electric motor installed.
This furnishes the power for the entire
plant.
The south end of the quarry has
been opened by Mr. Moore at a consid-
cradle expense. The limestone obtain
ed there is of much better grade than
that in the north end which was used
when the crusher was formerly at that
quarry.
The machinery was started Tuesday
and everything ran perfectly. Mr.
Moore who has visited nearly every
crusher plant in the state claims tina
this one is by far the best. Commits
sioner Stewart is entirely satisfied
with it.
The commissioner has completed the
piece of road on County st between the
freight depot and Depot st on which
he has been working for some time.
1t was necessary to fill in with stone
and gravel on an average of two fee;
and the work has been done in a first
class manner.
Crushed stone is being placed ON
School st near the bridge today and
'verthing is now ready for extensive
work on the streets in the near future.
