The Northern lynchers are spoken of oy tne tioveruor. Of this he says: "It is no excuse to say that the Northern people, who have less to provoke them to it, lynch. Let us not take them aa a standard; but rather show a higher type of civilization in our State, and erect Uere a standard to which they may aspire. ' Ihe Governor is iu favor of arming the prisoners and allow ing them to pro tect uiemseives Iroiu mobs.

Another matter is the consideration of the change of the titles of the officers and subordinate bodies of the order. Investigation Itelng Made. President Depew's opinion that the disaster on the New York Central F.ail road was the result of a dynamite explo sion planned by enemies of the corpor ation finds many upholders among rail road officials and citizens familiar with ihe conditions. "If the embankment of the railroad was torn no by dynamite, the motive of those -who did it was not robbery, but revenge. " was the state ment made by one official of the road. "A vigorous investigation is being made, and at least one man may be ar lested. A Rig Fire In St. Louis, Mo. At St. Louis, Mo. . a lighted cigarette, diopred by a thoughtless clerk, is sup posed to Lave caused the i:oo, Port tire which practically gutted the w hite stone building at the corner of Seventh and Chestnut streets, occupied by the general officers of the Wabash Rail road. During the fire a horse was killed by an electric wire and a clerk's head torn open by falling debris. Seven young ladies, employed in one of the mailing rooms, climbed down the tire escape. i lricc$l Some Sent to the Penitentiary, Others Fined and Sentenced to the Chain Gang. The most remarkable car robbery :ase on record in the South came to au end last week at talton, Ga., iu tho Superior Court, Judge Alonzo Fite presiding. During the past three weeks eighteen robbers, charged with systematically looting cars on the southern Railway, extending over a eriod of live years, have bee;i tried aud found iruilty. The ring leader, Walter L'ohannon, was convicted ia five cases, and was sen tenced by the court to ten years in the penitentiary. His gang, Tom llinne mau, Ren Rearce, Sam Paiuter, Lute W hite. iiill Long and Ed Morris, tha latter colored, received sentences from three years to ouo year. Jim Harris, the member 0 the gaug who turned away, was net sentenced, and it is probable that uuder the recommenda tion of the superintendent of the rail road, he will be released, or his sen tence will be very light. The merchants convicted of receivit.- stolen goods from the robbers are as follows, all prominent in business and social circies in Dalton and north Georgia: G. M. Cannon. T. P. J. Peeoles. J H. Render. Anderson Gid- oens, CleeCombee, it. W. lloran, a. .Met arson. J. Kirkefarrer, Ld Roberts and Jesse Laugston. Ihe court eenteaced all these mer chants to pay fines ranging according iug to their ability to pay, from Sl.ooj Uowu to 52 i, and one year on the chain gang, the latter sentenced to be sus pended on payment of the fines and costs. On account of the robberies, of which these suits were the result, the southern Railway seems to have 1 aid damages to consignors amounting to 510,000 during the live years tho gau were making their depredations. THK liUSlNK. WORLD. Uradstreet Says Kastern Cities Re port a Falling off in Collections. Rradstreet's weekly commercial re port for the past week, says iu part "While the general trade movement is somewhat irregular and there are further evidences of falling off in de mand, the volume of business con tinues of large proportions. Specula tion iu wool has ceased, and demand for the staple is less than for weeks past. Cotton goods are dull ou the weakness of raw cotton, and jobbers reiiort dry goods lower than a week ago. Interior merchants in the central West have not distributed fall .stocks as promptly as expected and nany jobbers at Western centers lind thai they over-estimated he consump tive demand when securing fall goods. Unseasonably warm weather has inter fered with the movement of heavy goods at the West, but rains iu Kansas, t Okla homa and Nebraska have improved tho ricultural outlook. Relatively a great activity inthe trade is reported bv Kan sas City and Omaha merchants. hile quarantine regulations have been raised u j exas and modified iu Louisiana. business throughout most of the Gull states is practically at a standstill. "Almost all the larger Eastern cities report a decreased movement of mer chandise, and a tendency of collections to full away, notably Paltimore. owing to its Southern connections. The in dustrial situation continues to furnish employment to as many persons as at any preceding petiod this year and at higher wages. 1 here are 20o business failures report ed throughout the United States this week, ag :11:1st I'M last w eek.

The Raltimore Steata Packet Com pany on October 2'th, adopted the dif ferentia! rates, which Lave been an nounced by the Seaboard Air Line be tween Northern and Southern points, its rates are considerably lower than tiiose maintained at present, and ac cording to the statement 01 au official of 'he Cld Ray Line, ure for the purpose of equalizing to a certain extent the disadvantages uudes which the Sea board Air Line is compelled at present to operate its express trains. The ac tion taken by the Seaboard and the Old Ray Line is similar to that of trunk lines between New York and the West, which is recognized as proper by the Irunk Line Association. Ry the dif ferential rate the lare from Raltimoreto Atlanta, by way of the Seaboard and Jld Ray Line, is reduced to 57.70; to Charlotte, N. C, 1.70; to Raleigh, N.

Typhoid fever is still raging to an alarming extent at the Eastern Ken tucky Lunatic Asylum. Dr. Mansfield, third assistant physician, has beeu sent .c his home in Powell county, suffering from the disease, and some three or four patients have died during the past month. The sewerage at the institu tion is bad, and the existence of the disease is accredited to this. Travel Continues Light.

Text: "They came t i nvvt us as far as Appii Forum and the Throe Taverns." Acts xxvlil.. 15. Seventeen miles south of Home. Italv, ther was a village of uuf.-rtunato ri.viix and bibulous suggestion. A tavern 1-t a pla1 of entertaiumeut. an 1. in our tim part of th entrtainmMit is a provision or liuoxt.'.niu. One siu-U pla you would think would liavrt l.ofn enough for that Italian village. No! Thre were thre of them, with doors open, for entertainment and obfuseation. The world has never lacked stimulating drinks. You remem!er the condition of Noah on on o.vnsi.in, and of AMirail's husband, Nabal, and the torvff. H 'l-'iazT.ar's feast, and itonha bi l, and ihe i.er wine 111 old Lollies, and who!" paragraphs on prohibition enactment thousands of years hefor.j Xea' Dow was born; and no doubt th.'r w.t wli !.. shelves of lnllammatory ii pii 1 in these ho tels which gav th Lama to the village Wherrt Paul's friends came to meet htm: namely, the Thro Taverns. In vain I search ancient geography for some aatis fyin account of that village. Two roads cam from tho sen coat to that pla -e: the One from Actium and tlie other from Pule oil, the last road being the one wlii -h Paul traveled. There were, no doubt, ia that Village houses of merchandise mid me chanics shops and professional oftlces. bur nothing is known of tl.em. All we know of that village is that it Im 1 a profti-bm of inns-tho Thren Taverns. Paul li 1 not choose any one of these taverns as the place to iiieet his friends. Ho eiTtahil v was very abstemious, but thev ma le the selection, lie had enlarged about keeping the body under, though once lie pres Tit.e.l for a young theologi -al student a stimu lating cordial fur a stoma mi di s..r I t; but he told him to take only a small d .se "a little wine for thv stomach's sake." One of the. worst things about these Three Taverns was that they ha 1 espe.-ial temptation for those who ha I just come ashore. People who had just landed at Actium or Puteoll were soon tempt.-1 r y these three hotels, which were only a little way up from tho beach. Those" who nr.. disordered of the sea (for it is a physical disorganlzer), iiiste.-i 1 of waiting f r tin gradual return of pliy.-i'al e ji, (poise, are apt to tike artitlelal 'means to l.r.i .-e up. Of th-? one million sailors now on the s.-a, how few of them coming ashore will escape the Three Taverns! Aft -r surviving hurr' canes, cyclone. Icebergs, collisions, many of them are wrecked in harhor. , 1 warrant that if a calculation were nii). of tho ..en- Jiarative number of sailors lost at sea an 1 ost asihore, those drun iieit bv the crimson wave of dissipation would far outnumber those drowned by the salt wa'er. Alas! that the large majority of those who godowuto the sea In ships should have twice to pass the Three Taverns, namely: Before they K) out and after thev come in. That fact was what aroused Pat lier Tavl.u-, the grent sailors' preacher, at the Sailors'' Bethel, Boston, and at 11 public miting ut Cliarlestown h said, "All the machln.'i v of the drunkard-making, soul-destroying business is in perfect running order, from the low grog holes on the .l.v-Us, fcP,,t open to ruin my poor salbr bo vs. to tliegr-a' establishments In Still II., rise S.piare, ami When we ask men what is to be done nl...ut It, they say 'you can't help it,' and v-i there Is Bunker Hill, and y.i sa v you ca'a't Stop It; and up there are Lexington me' Concord." We might answer l'ai !n r Tay lor's remark by saying, "The trouble is n.'.t that we can't stop it, but that we won't s'op it." V must have more generations slain before the world will fully wake im to the evil. That which tempted the travel, ers of old who came 11 n from the seai...rts of Actium und Puteoll Is new tlie mm .i seafaring men as thev come up from the coast3 of all the continents, namely the Three Taverns. There are streets iu some or our Ities where there are three or four taverns on every block; aye, where every other house Is a tavern. You can take tin) Arabic num eral of my text, the three, and put on the right hand side of it one cipher, nnd two ciphers, and four elnhers and thm rein forcement of numerals will not express th statistics of American rummeri;--. Kven i it were a good, healthy business, supelving a necessity, an artlelo'sunerbk- nut. ill,.,.- it is a business mightily overdone, und' there r.re three taverns where there ought to be only one. Tho fact is. there are in .m.,t!...r Three Taverns now; the gorgeous t iv.-rn ior tne atllucnt, the medium tavern for the working classes, and the turem Slums, and they stand In line, and manv people, beginning with tin- !!r.st, eome down, through the second, nnd come out at the third. At the first of the ti.r,-., t.iv. ems, the wines are of celebrate 1 vintage and tho whiskies are said to be pure, and they are quaffed from cut glass, at marble Side-tables, uuder ideture.s ai.i.r.,:.,-l,i-.,. master-; ier s.

In longer or shorter lirn they ciiange taverns, and they eome down to tavern the second, where the pictures nr. not quite so scrupulous of suggestion and the small table Is rougher and tlie castor standing on It is of (iTnin silver and the air iias been kept over from the night be fore and that which they sip from tV pewtep mug has a larger 1 ereentageof I..-.,, rioe, amhergr 8. i-r- O-ot'-, henbane, strych nine, prussie add. co-u!us In lb-iiu i.l.i'.i. r of paris, copperas, and nights! patron may be s-eti almost even- .p.

The poor victim has taken the regular coarse In the collegeof degraiation. He has his diploma written on hisswolien.bruls 'd.nnd blot-bed physiognomy. He is a regular graduate of the Three Taverns. As the poll.-., take him up and put him In thean.bubin -e the wheel, seem to rumble with two rolls of thunder, one of which says, "Look c,t upon the wine when It Is red, when It moveth it If aright in the cup, for at the last it bif-Hi like a serpent an 1 stingeth like an a,pif.r. " The ether thunder roil vs. "All drunkards shall have their place In the lake that burnetii with fire and with brimstone."
