ATLANTA, Ua., Aug, 9.—Among other
nows wired you Saturday night, or rather
tiled for you and which you failed to get
was the conviction of Tobe Jackson in’
Curtersville of dynamiting. It will be re
membered that on tlie night of January
22,18StJ, a dynamite cartridge was exploded
under the front porch of the home of
United States Commissioner Aaron Collins
in Curtersville, and the front of the house
badly torn up. Judge Collins and his wife
were asleep in the front of Lire house and
at iirst were stunned by the shock, but re-
covered in a little while. The town was
awakened by the explosion and great in
dignation was l'eit at the outrage. Tobe
Jackson had been arraigned several times
before Commissioner Collins for violations
of the liquor law, and had made serious
threats against him. Suspicion at once
settled upon him, and the history of the
reward offered for his arrest, the
bloodhound chase, the arrest in
Texas and the subsequent details
of the ease are familiar to all. His recent
connection with the killing of young
Strickland by City Marshal Puckett did
not improve his standing in the communi
ty- tbe dynamiting case was called
Thursday morning and nearly all of the
first day was consumed in getting a jury
The ease was concluded Saturday evening
with Jackson’s conviction and sentence to
the penitentiary for ten years. Sam Jack-
son, Tobe’s brother, is held under the same
charge, but his trial will not come up be
fore October. When Tobe Jackson was
convicted, bis brother’s bondsmen gave
hi in inio the custody of the court and lie
will now be held in jail until his trial.
Both Tobe and Sam have been brought to
the Pulton county jail for safe keeping.

Atlanta, On., August 9.—Sunday morn
ing a collision occurred near Seney Station
on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor
gia railroad, which wrecked a number of
cars but was not accompanied with loss of
life. Tiie old story of a sharp curve in the
road, two trains on the same track and
nobody to blame is the only explanation
that lias yet been received. The engineer
and fireman escaped with their lives by
jumping after reversing their engine.
The wreck blockaded tile track all day,
but trains went through all right to-night.

Special to Enquirer-Sun.
Seale, Ala., August 9.—The types made
me say, in my letter Saturday, that an
effort was being made to remove the town
incorporation. I wrote “revive.” The
sterets and sidewalks are in wretched con
dition, and are a disgrace to every citizen
of the town. Sheriff' Bellamy has volun
teered to perform the duties of marshal
without charge, therefore it will cost but
little to run the municipal government.
The main object of reviving the incorpora
tion is to get the streets worked. I trust
this will he accomplished with little
delay.

CATAULA CAMP-MEETING.
Impressions On One Who Attended the Ser\iee.
Editor Enquirer-Sun : I will tell you
about the Catania camp-meeting. Awak
ening with tiie rising sun, we made haste
to don our “Sunday dress,” which means
to us girls lace, feathers, ribbons, etc. W e
were soon in the open carriage on our way
to the camp ground. The cool breeze, the
dew-laden grass, the early birds ana our ,
spirited horses all combined to make our I
ride a pleasant one. After riding ten or i
twelve miles, we came to a deep, niuddy
creek, which we dreaded to cross tor tear
it would soil our pretty clothes. \\ e were
told that our destination was about tour
miles distant, so we plucked courage anu
ventured in tiie ugly water—happily it
only reached the huh—so we landed all
safe on the other side, and then for four
weary long miles we bounced over rocks,
down gullies, up hills, until the grounds
were reached. There we were kindly ,
taken care of by our good, jovial friend,
Colonel Kimbough. . ..

will not be bulldozed by the Patterson

ANOTHER BLACK EYE.
Thus another black eye has been given
tiie Patterson-Arkins crowd, and recogni
tion accorded the better elements of the
party.
Mr. Mott exnressed some pleasure when
informed of the appointment, but was
not altogether surprised, as it was gener
ally thought he would be given tiie appoint
ment. His application was filed at Wash
ington last February.
The new appointed register is a very
pleasant gentleman, about 42 years of age.
He was born in Columbus Gii., where he
remained until about the time of the break
ing out of the civil war, when Mr. Mott’s
father, who was a strong Unionist sent him
to Europe. He at once entered Heidelberg
University, and at the early age of 22, he
was graduated from the law department
with the very highest honors.
COMINO BACK TO AMERICA.
Returning to America, Mr. Mott prac
ticed law at his old home, Columbus, but
on account of an affection of the eyes, he
was obliged to give it up. In 1879, Mr.
Mott arrived in Denver, where he has re
sided since, and by strict and honorable at
tention to his profession, he has won the
esteem and good will of the public.
Mr. Mott is a stanch democrat, and
while not regarded as a politician, he has
during the past been identified more or
less with the campaign work of his party.
It is believed that the appointment will
be well received throughout the state.

Latest From the Mills.
Augusta, Ga., August 9.—11 p. m,—
There is no change in the cotton mills
strike. To-morrow is the last day for the
factory weavers to
to work. If they do not all the
mills here will shut down to-morrow after
noon. The operatives say they are well
supported by the Knights of Labor at
large. Thousands of people will be de
pendent. The strikers seem, generally,
indifferent ns to the result. It is rumored
hero that Grand Muster Powderly is ex
pected to come.
Augusta, Ga., August 10.—1 a. m.—The
situation here is simply that the Augusta
factory operatives refuse to go to work,
and all the mills will shut down, thus
throwing out of employment the oper
atives of all the mills. About 4000 people
will be thrown out of employment to
morrow morning. It was rumored yester
day two or three t imes that Grand Master
Thos. V. Powderly, of the Knights of
Lobor, was on his way to Augusta.
An active canvass, however, failed
to find him. Your reporter
met two of the local executive committee
and asked them about it. Neither knew
of his presence, although they had heard
that he was coining, ana might he here in
a little while. Yesterday a dispatch
was received here by the Knights of
Labor executive board that the grand
master was coming. The reference
was made presumably to Mr. Powderly,
but nothing more was heard of the matter
and no meeting was called, as the dispatch
suggested. Both rumors of Mr. Powderly’s
coming were wired from South Carolina.
He is a man of great power and breadth
and it is to be hoped he may come.
“Would you go back to work if Pow
derly advised you to go?” was asked an
Augusta factory worker yesterday.
“He is not going to order us to do so ?”
“But suppose he did ?”
“I would go.”
To-day the bells will ring, but unless the
recalcitrant weavers at the Augusta fac
tory go back to their places, the hands will
leave the mills this evening not to return
to-morrow.
ket p everyth ing as quiet as possible around
tlie mills, and the first money that is fur

voted to sending ns many hands ns possible
to the country to go to work there, or to
any other place where they may get
employment. "Every one who wants to
go to the country,” said he, “we will try

the senator this afternoon. “Here is the

The notice was worded in different ways

It was a renewal of what had already been

This was the first notice to the opera
