Possibly not half so much. C The income of Henry George is $50,000 a year. He can very well tl talk of anti-poverty societies, and so on, but we have never heard of' his dividing any of his wealth with any e of the members of the anti-poverty societies whose incomes are much a less than his. Th.e Greenville News thinks peo. s pIe in this world are judged by their reputation and not so much by what E they really are. As an instance our contemporary points to Charieston's * reputation for earthquakes. On last Fridiay night telegraphic .communi cation was cut off from Charleston , for a very siiort while by a break in hi * the wire, and mse leading daily pa- a a pers the next morning spoke of ano- h ther disastrous earthquake in Charles ton, and the News and C'ourier says o the city was asleep as if she had never heard of an earthquake. o The plagiarist craze and the "dead- e ly parallel column" seems to have C completely taken hold of the country. r They are now trying to show that the C expression of President Cleveland,a -"public office is a public trust," is g not original with him, and that his speeches on his trip are not original t nor impromptu, but were prepared and eommnitted before be left Wash ington. It may be, but he is strong - with the people all the same, and his i enemies will have to do better than. that before they weaken him with the b people.e Ex-Governor D. H.

O IIe has found out, or he says now, t that the repubiican party is corru pt, that it is the party of the machine politicians, and that he prefers the ~ democratic party. Mr. Chamberlain is also a great believer in civil ser vice, H e does not propose to give his influence or .his eloquence to the ~ success of either party further than ~ a to cast his vote, and at present he is o satisfied with, and endorse's the ad- b ministration of, Mr. Cleveland.

Whe1 sob Duff was shot one of the vigilant rent to his body and cut his throat, sayi ag, "This is in rememnberance of th oung lady school teacher you killed fo er money." It appears that a lad; ~hool teacher was killed for her muone; the upper part of Roane County som zonths ago, and a warrant was out fo ob Duff charging him with the crime Ex-Senator Jones's Serious Illness.

Twenty Workmen Overwhelmed by Falling Walls and More than Half of Them Killed. r NEW YoRK, October 17.-A four story building in course of erection at -43 5 East 15th street, to be used as a sch,ol house, tumbled in this afternoon and many workmen were bmied in the ruins. The building had reaebcd the fourt' story. The whole front wall fell. Ar. that time there were over twenty men in the building at work and they were ) all buried in the ruins. * Search was at once commenced and at ';o'clock this evening six dead bodies have been taken from the ruins. Four men were taken out serionsly wounded and almost suffocated. The supposition is tiat there are still fourteen men un . dlerneath the dlebris. Most of the work men were engaged in the lower part of the buildingat the time of the accident. The side walls fell in immediately after the -front wall gave way. The workmen were all Italians, and the schoolhouse was intended for the education of Italian children. Two hook and ladder coinpd uies and numerous citizens are searching the ruins. There are no sounds heard from ti; wreck, and it is supp.osed that these buried are all dead. i Lattr ,eporis say that five persons were killed and over a dozen wore or less wounded. Of the latter Father Amelian a Kirner, priest in charge of the Church of Our Lady, of Mount Carmel, will probably die. He was standing on the a fourth story talking to the foreman at . the time of the crash, and was thrown to the forward paft of the wreck, landing on his feet, su,taining spinal injuries. Lynch, the foreman, escaped, but can not now be found. i There were a number of miraculous escapes from death. The killed are Joh n Duncan, bricklayer, Henry Reinitz, blacksmith, two Italians and one un - known man. The building was begun s about four months rgo under the super e vision of Father Kirner. who hoped to I save money by doing without a contrac s tor. The fall of the wall is said to have been caused by a violation of the build s ing laws, no central supports having f been placed under the beams of the first 1 floor, which were simply set into the walls. But central supports were used e on some stories. It is also .charged that the walls were l run up too hastily, and the mortar was not given time to set. Besides this the s constant jarring from a donkey engine 1 used in hoisting material caused the % weak walls to oscillate, and they finally r swung over from the east to the west, carrying, both sides. The walls were s only sixteen inches thick in some places. f The building when finis- ed was calcu t latmd to accommodate 2,000 children. e THE AVENGING STEP-SON. t - 3 A Millionaire Shot Down in the Street. CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Stephen W. Raw son. President of the Union Trust and Savings Bank of this city, was shot as - he emerged from the Third Presbyterian Church to-day by his step-son, William Lee, aged seventeen. Rawson had been charged by his wife with perjury and e other offences. He, on the other hand, I alleged that she, although prominent in i society and a beautiful woman in ap r pearance, was really an adventuress, who coveted only his money. For a Syear or more the two have been fighting I each other in the divorce courts, and .within the past week the banker has S filed against her additional charges of a compromising character. THE AVENGING SON. SFor this insult to his mother Lee shot the grey-haired millionaire, his step ,father, five times, in a throng of people t near the church door, every bullet tak Sing effect. Mr. Rawson's wounda are Sregarded as mortal. The murderer was -arrested at his own request. When apprised of the murder Mrs. Rawson said to a reporter, "I' am glad -of it ; he deserved it." "What was it done for?" asked the rreporter. "Because Rawson has made me out on the streets to be a public prostitume. I'll stand by the boy," she cried, ris ing her arm with a dramatic gesture. "He did no more than any other boy 'would do. He is the son of his mother." Vlrginia's Imprisoned Attorneys.

ATLANTA, October 17.-The Piedmor Exposition was attended to-day b twenty-five thousand people, notwitl standing .the disagreeable weather. Thi is the first rainy day since the opening < the exhibition. During the afternoo rain fell in torrents. The city was gail decorated with flags and bunting, nearl every business house along the princip, streets being appropriately garnishei The rain washed the dye out of the flag and caused streams of red-colored fluit exactly like blood, to pour down the sid( walks into the gutters. The rain hs seriously hurt the decorations on the ei tenor of houses, and now the flags an streamers and red, white and blue, han limp. From early this morning until late t< night trains coming into the city ha' been crowded with visitors from ever section of the country. It is estimate that there are now in Atlanta upwards < 60,000 strangers. The hotels and boari ing-houses are filled to overflowing an applicants for lodgings are being turne away by the hundreds. * The committt on public comfort declare that the rn sources of the whole city have been taxe to the utmost and that its impossible i furnish lodgings- for any more peopl, To-night in the drenching rain, trudgin through the muddy streets, are man women and children hunting for a plac to sleep.

The carrying capacity< the railroads has been taxed to so gre< an extent that thousands of persons wb wished to come to Atlanta to-day wem lelt at stations. The transportation fr cilities of the Richmond and Danvil Railroad in carrying visitors to and fro] the Exposition grounds have been foun to be unequal to the occasion. At a late hour to-night the rain co, tinues and the indications are that tt morrow will be wet and disagreeable. RUN OVER AN) KILLElD On the Richmond and Danville Itai road Track Atlanta Constitution, Oct. 15. John Gleen Little, a young man wi came to Atlanta several years ago froi Laurens Courthouse, South Carolina was knocked down and run over by ti Air-Line belle train yesterday mornir about ten o'clock, nrear the Oaklan cemetery crossing. Later in the day Little died of the ii juries received. From all that can be ascertained Li tie's death appears to have been d: largely to his own carelessnass, or I a disregard for life. Early ye.terda morning, probably an hour before tt accident, occurred, Little appeared i thr- cemetery crossing, and approachir, V. D. Allen, the watchman, introduce himself. He then began talking wit Mr. Allen, telling him that he was aearcl ing for work and that he had begun I grow weary ill hunting for what I could not find. Little was a young ma of good appearance and was quite a interesting talker, and as Mr. Allen time was not wholly taken up in his worl he listened to the young man wit pleasure until the Georgia railroad trai came in sight approaching the cit. As the train moved forward Litt] asked : "Does that go into the main depot?~ "No, it stops' at the freight depot bl.ock or two this side," answered M Allen. "T.hen I believe I will elimb on th caboose and ride up," remarked Li tie. As lhe Spoke, the young man steppe across the track, and upon the end< the crossties of another. track runnin parallel with the one upon which tl1 Georgia freight was moving. The edg of the track upon which he stood wal the one used by the Richmond an Danville trains and upon it the Air-Lin: belle was then moving backward, bein pushed friom the passenger depot to tb shops. When Little got upon the Ai: Line track he stood facing the Ge*orgi traini, with his back towards thte'Ai: Line belle, which was then nearer t him than the freight. The watchma had seen -the belle, and presunmed,< course, that Little had seen it too, hi as he madte no attempt to get off tlb ends of the ties as the train came close to him, Allen called out: "'Take care there ! There comes the Air-Line train." Believing that Little had heard th warning atnd would leave the crosstie before the train reached him, Alle turned his. attention to the freight which wa< drawing nearer. In a mir uwe, however, he glanced towalrd th Air-Line trick again. Little had nc changed his position, and the rear en of the train was within a few yards< him. His eyes were apparently rivete upon the freight train, and fearing tha the man did not realize his danger, A: len raised his flag and again yelled: "Look out, there; that train will strik you." Little turned his head toward the Aiu Line tralin, and at the same time steppe across the rail upon the track imm< diately in front of the coach. In a se( onid the end of the car struck him. Thm train was moving with a fair speed, an the force was sufficient to knock th man down. In the fall Little's bod cleared the rail, but his legs fell acros it and the wheels passed over themz. I some way his coat became entangledi the brake, and as long as the trai moved the unfortunate young man wa dlraggedl along thme ground, his head an face thumping against the ends of thm ties. Almost immnediately after he was re moved from under the train lhe looke about him, rem trking: "I guess the road will have to pay fe this.'' The train men about Little. made bir as comfortable as possible, and sent fu a phyician. Dr. Win. Perrin Nicolsor 5urgeon for the Richmond and Danville responded, and had the injured man re moved to the Ivy street hospital, wher his injuries w.ere carefully examhinet At a glance.the doctor saw that bot legs would have to be amputated. 0 the head lie found] a number of cuts an cow tusionis, some of which were in then selves dangerous. The manm's generm condition was against his recovery, ain in a short time Dr. Nicolson becamn satistied that an amputation could nc be undertaken until a change occurrec He did what he could to relieve Elh young man's suffering, and the.n bega awaiting thme change. Thme p)atient, ho'i ever, comtlmee sinking rapidly, ao about half-past two o'clock in the after nooni (lied. At tirsrt no one could be found wh knew anything about the dead man, bi later it. was ascertained that lie was grand nephew of Mr. John Glenn, wi has beeni connmected with the Georgi ro-id for years. Mr. Glenn idenztitie the young man, and his body was re tmoved to Patte'rsoni's undertaking room and prepared for shipmenit to Lauren Court House, South Carolina.
