Mr. C. K.

Kelly and the prisoners were remand ed to await trial for murder, at the Ocloberof the Court in Columbia. —The Atlanta Journal says: Col. Issue W. Avery was brought from Dalton Wednesday morning and tak en from the depot in an ambulance to a private residence, corner of Wheat uiid Courtland streets. He is very weak, the Brown-Sequard elixir hav ing done him no good. On Monday the agreement among the merchants of the town by which the stores were closed at 7 o’clock p. m. during the summer, came to an end by its owyi limitation, and here- the vacancy caused by the resignation ofMajorL. A. Ransom, as chief clerk, by the appointment of Mr. Ambrose E. Gonzales, a brother of Gov. Rich ardson^ private secretary, Mr. W. E. Gonzales, and of Mr. N. G. Gon zales, the head of the News and Cour ier bureau in Columbia. The ap- ' pointee is a telegraph operator by pro fession, but for several years past has been the travelling agent of the Char leston News and Courier. Col. Claude E. Sawyer returned to Aiken on Wednesday, from Salt Springs, Ga., where he has been spen ding some weeks for the benefit of his health. We are glad to learn that he has received much benefit from the change. Mr. H. G. Anthony, of Savannah, Ga., was married in Augusta on Sat urday last by Squire Nathan Davis, to Miss Emma Burton, of Langley. After the ceremony the married cou ple left for their home in Savannah. J. C. Adkins, colored, requests us to state that while he thanks his friends for having mentioned his name as one of the nominees for a Warden of the town at the approaching elec tion the exactions of his machanical work prevents his accepting the nom ination. Mrs. Jessie Wattou, now of Eng land, has been in Aiken for a few days on a visit to Mrs. Leander W. Town send. She has returned to Augusta for the present and will visit friends in Louisiana, before going back to her home in England. The protracted meetings that have been in progress at the Aiken Baptist Church for the past fortnight have been most successfully conducted by the Rev. W. E. Johnson, who has preached constantly and shown un doubted talent and aptitude for his work. The attendance has been large and much interest manifested in the cause. Twelve accessions to the church were made. The meetings will close this evening. Tuesday night was one of the very few really clear and bright moonlight nights that we have had for the past month or two, and was signalized by what astronomers call the occulta- tion of Jupiter, now the evening star, that is, the eclipse of the star by the moon. The star travels apparently westwards slightly faster than the moon, and as the evening shades pre vailed gradually caught up with the moon, until at 9.50 p. m. it disap peared behind her dark side, and seemed to be absorbed and blotted from the sky. At about 10:30 it re appeared on the westward side of the moon, first as a sort of excrescence, then gradually coming again into full view in all its beauty. An occuita- tion or eclipse such as this is very valuable to astronomers in enabling them to take measurements of dis tances, and especially to make calcu lations of longitude; and in this par ticular instance the clearness of the atmosphere gave them a great advan tage. Jupiter will not be eclipsed again until the 13th of August, 1892. Municipal Politics. The election on Monday next for Intendaut and Wardens is now the general topic of discussion, and as no popular meeting has been held the canvass has become a sort of ‘*go as you please” game. Mr. Geo W. E. Thorpe, to the regret of his friends, declines positively to allow his name to be used for the office of Intendaut, and the other candidates before the people are Messrs. F. B. Henderson and John T. Gaston. For Wardens the candidates are Messrs. Her.ry Busch, J. F Albrandt, Henry Smith, B. P. Chatfield, F. W. Weasels, A. W. Oakley, and E. B. Burroughs. John Phillips, John Adkins, colored. For the welfare of the town we trust that from among the nominees the best men will be chosen. But the outlook appears very unpromising. There is no unity of action among our people, and an apathy that is difficult to understand when the gravity of the interests involved is considered. The Tostal Telegraph Company. The Aiken Institute Affairs. For some weeks past there have been many contradictory reports in circulation relative to Mr. F. H. Cur tiss’ return to Aiken, and his contin ued connection with the school he had here. We therefore cheerfully J iublish the following card from him, u which he speaks for himself: CARD. Editor* Aiken Recorder: tH-your pa- per to correct au error which 1 learn has gone abroad, to the effect that I am not to return.

Warueke has for sale Mtine of the cotton drilling made by the Langley Manufacturing Company for covering cotton bales. It looks very neat, but we doubt its ability to hold its own in the contest with cotton hooks and the usual stevedoor grap pling hooks. It is lor sale at cents per yard, and is^tt* in weight. —A declaration has been filed with the Secretary of State and a commis sion issued for the incorporation of| the Charleston Mattress and Wood- ware Company, of Charleston.

He was incased in a barrel which was towed out into the river and turn ed loose’ It was swept down the cur rent and dropped two hundred feet into the abyss below. We are ready to believe ibat Graham was brought out of the barrel more dead than alive. It is evident that all the fools are not dead yet. —The Augusta Chronicle says: The Three C’s road is to be pushed. A six million dollar contract has been awarded to build the road from Ma rion, N.C., to Minnerpnlis, Va. It is already finished from Charleston to Marion.

The City Council of Augusta on Monday unanimously voted to grant the charter applied for by the Augus ta and Summerville Railroad Com pany for the privilege of changing their motor from horse power to elec tricity.
