Hamilton, Ga., September 29,— The
weather continues hot and sultry. The
roads are exceedingly dusty and rain is
much needed.
The cotton crop is being rapidly gather
ed. There will be but little to pick bv the
middle of October. We think, with few
exceptions, only from 60 to 70 per cent, of
a crop will bo realized. Hamilton received
about 125 bales since Saturday morning.
Misses Annie and Sallie Griggs, of Beall-
wood, after spending some timo pleasant
ly with relatives and friends in Hamilton,
left for home this morning.
Rev. O. V. Puller administered the bap
tismal ceremony to eight converts lust
Sabbath eveningat Baugh’s fish pond, just
over the line in Talbot county. This makes
twelve accessions to Mount Vernon church
in the last two weeks.
Our school' in Hamilton continues on a
b oom, and could houses be secured there
■is no telling how high the roll would go.
*We saw several gentlemen a few days since
who seem anxious to come to our city for
educational advantages, but who will be
forced somewhere else on aeoount of no
houses. Professor Dozier is rapidly prov
ing to the people that they have, at last
secured the services of a man who can
teach the young idea how to shoot, and
that rapidly, too.
The return docket for the October court
is very light, there being only eleven cases
returned. But there islconsiderable old
business on hand for disposition, and the
judge will have his hands full. The jail
■has six boarders now, with a good chance
for recruits.
There seems to be a lull in the political
arena just now in our county. Everything
seems to be on the still-hunt plan. There
are enough candidate’s for the sheriff’s
■office to keep things lively, but it don’t. It
may be that gathering crops is engrossing
their attention just now. We heard a gen
tleman say on our streets a few days since
that he understood that all tho candidates
for sheriff had withdrawn from the race
except fourteen. This is gratifying, to say
the least of it.
Harold Williams, son of B. H. Williams,
left this morning for Baltimore, where he
goes to enter the medical college. He in
tends taking a thorough course before he
returns. Harold has stamina sufficient to
make a flrstrclass doctor, and we predict
for him success in his new line.
AFTER HIS HEAD.
Tin Governor of Arizona >1 th« Capital Demand
ing (Jeronimo's Execution.
Washington, September 28.—Governor
Zulick, of Arizona, who contributed much
to the capture of the redskinB, is in the
capital, and demands the head of the cruel
chief on a charger or at the end of a rope.
What the government will do with regard
to punishing Geronimo is not yet known.
The principal authorities decline to say
anything on the subject at present, but it
seems probable that Geronimo will be exe
cuted, either by the civil or military au
thorities. He will be either hanged or
shot, and the more likely way is that he
wlU be hanged after a civil trial. The gov
ernor thinks that Geronimo’s execution is
due to the memories of the pioneers and
their wives and families who were brutally
murdered and outraged by the Apaches.
The governor is jubilant now that every
renegade Apache is in bondage.
“For the first time in its history as a ter
ritory, ” he said to a Post reporter yester
day, “the people of southeast Arizona feel
that they can go about their business with
out carrying winchester rifles in their
Bands. They feel that life, limb and prop
erty in the territory are safe. When I
stated the case of the people of Arizona to
the president, he took the matter up with a
■will and declared that If it took every sol
dier In the army he would see that these
people were nd of this terrible incubus.
Secretary Lamar took a vigorous grasp of
the problem at the outset and we owe him
a debt of everlasting gratitude for the way
in which ho has handled it. At present
there is not a hostile Apache left on the
White Mountain reservation. There are
4200 ApacheB on the reservation still, but
they are peaceful and industrious, and
they rejoice with tAe white people of the
territory that the murderers have been re
moved. The present whereabouts of
Geronimo is known only to the military,
but he is not on the reservation. All the
other hostiles, to the number of over 500,
are now in Florida.”

CAUGHT BY A NEW TRICK.

Fooled.
New York, September 27.—Police In
spector Byrnes, at the head of our detec
tives, has had a new phase of crime pre
sented to him. It is an adroit trick in
blackmail, and the indications are that it
has been played extensively within a
month past. The case brought before
Byrnes is fully illustrative. A man whom
he calls Jackson, but whose true name is
not disclosed, came to town from some
where in the west to buv
goods. He fell in with an adven
turess and went with her to No. 01 East
Tenth street, which seemed to him a re
spectable residence. The woman was
young, fashionably dressed and of polite
manners. She professed to be exception
ally inclined to giddiness that evening, and
after a supper with him at a restaurant
she let him accompany her home. Almost
any police detective would have recog
nized her on sight as “Pretty Mary” Mor
ton, whose picture has been for years in
the rogues’ album at headquarters, and
who was long ago infamous as a panel
thief. To Jackson, however, she was a
reckless creature who had for this excep
tional occasion departed from convention
ality. He was confirmed in this view of
her because she declined any financial
favor beyond the money he had spent in
entertaining her.
When Jackson was ready to depart
there came a light tap at the door, and a
girl of twelve or fourteen entered. Mary
said this was her sister, and, with a sly
finger on her lip, she introduced Jackson
to the girl as an old acquaintance. Then
Mary made an excuse to withdraw for a
few minutes. During her absence the
other operator made up to the man aston
ishing, at length seating herself on Mb lap.
Then the door was pushed suddenly open
and a burly man 'entered. He affected
high anger, and declared that Jackson had
assaulted nis daughter, meaning the
younger one of the girls. Jackson pro
tested in vain, but was silenced with
amazement when the young imp herself
joined in the accusation. Tho man loudly
asserted that he would send the visitor
to state prison, like the dry
goods merchant who had lately been con
victed under the new law construing con
sent as no defense when the girl is under
sixteen. Poor Jaokson had read of that
case, and the horror counted on by tho
blackmailers was aroused in him. Couldn’t
he settle it with money? No: the outraged
father would go instantly for the police.
Still, a price was named—$500. He hadn't
so much in his pocket, but would pay $100.
That sum was accepted, with a show of
reluctance, and he was permitted to go.
For a day or two he congratulated himself
on his escape. Then he came to a compre
hension of the truth, and called on Byrnes
with his story. Investigation revealB that
with the new law as to the limit of age as
a means of frightening tho victims, the
blackmailers have been industriously at
work.
THE DOW LAW.
A Ituilny l inin' Which I'rnhllilllim Towns Mil)
lit*Supplied liy till- (iHlIllll.
Dover, N. H., September 29.—A farmer
living at Isinglass Bridge, near the Bar
rington line, found a horse and buggy near
his residence this morning. A large pool
of blood was found in the body of the
buggy, and there were also three teeth
that were knocked out of somebody’s
mouth recently; the cushions were torn
and the dash-board broken, and there were
evidences of a desperate struggle having
taken place in the carriage. A
short distance from the carriage
a woman’s hat was found. The farmer
took the turnout to Rochester, and the
chief of police at once started to make an
investigation. A man and woman with a
strange horse and buggy were seen in Bar
rington last evening. The team has not
yet been identified.
The mysterious murder affray in a buggy
near Barrington, last night, has been
solved. The Rochester officers, on hear
ing the news, started for Isinglass Bridge,
where they were told that the dead body
of a French-Canadian woodchopper had
been found in a field near Lee. It was then
learned that three French-Canadian wood-
choppers, residents of Stafford, started
yesterday afternoon for Barrington.
They had been imbibing freely. All three
started home in one buggy. On the way
two of them became Involved in a dispute,
and one stabbed the other with a clasp-
knife seven times. The victim died in the
carriage soon after the stabbing, and his
companions took his body from the car
riage and carried it into the field, where it
Was found. Becoming terrified they de
serted the horse and buggy and started for
Lee. Both were arrested at noon to-day
in Lee, and taken thence to Rochester.
The names of the trio have not yet been
obtained. „ . ,
The names of the men are Fred. Millard,
Albert Billedoux and Joseph Leblanclie.
The last named did the stabbing, and
Millard was the victim. He is still alive,
though he has seven wounds and cannot
survive. Billedoux was also severely cut
while trying to stop the quarrel between
Leblanche and Millard, which arose about
a disreputable woman whom they had
been carousing with.
EX-PBESIDENT ARTHUR RETURNS.

New York, September 28.—Ex-Presi
dent Arthur arrived iu this city yesterday
from New London, where ho has passed
the summer. He went there three months
ago, when prostrated by ill health, and lie
has been endeavoring, by taking lieedni
rest and occasional exercise in that resort,
to recuperate. Late reports from ‘fiends
Who visited him represented his condition
as but little changed. But there was a
manifest improvement in the appearance
of the ex-president as he was driven to his
residence at No. 123 Lexington avenue.
A LAKE OF BEER
Consumed In Uermany Every Year, aad yet of
Drunkards There Arc Few—The Secret, of It.
Washington, D. C., September 29.—
Consul Tanner, of Chemnitz, reports to the
secretary of state that the beer production
of Germany in 1885 was 1,100,000,000 gal
lons, enough to form a lake more than one
mile square and six and a half feet deep,
or it would make a running stream as
large as some of our rivers. He says the
consumption of intoxicants in Germany
S er head is four times as great ns in the
nited States, yet there are a thousand
hopeless drunkards in tho United States to
ten in Germany. The diffeience arises
largely, he says, if not entirely, from the
manner of drinking in vogue in the
countries.
“This science of drinking,” he writes,
“consists simply in the tardiness of drink
ing. All drinks are taken sip by sip, a half
or three-quarters of an hour being con
sumed for a glass of beer. This is so simple
that one is liable to ridicule for laying
stress upon it, and yet on this point hinges,
in my opinion, a question of vast impor
tance to Americans. By this manner of
drinking the blood is aroused to greater
activity in so gradual a manner that there
is no violent derangement of the animal
economy. By slow drinking, the German
accomplishes the object of drinking, and
gives his animal economy a chance to say
‘hold, enough,’ which only slow drinking
will do.” , . ...
Mr. Tanner says that since his arrival In
Germany he has his “first glass of water to
see drunk.”
TRYING TO MAKE A POOL.
The Southwestern Managers Strike a Snag.
Chicago, September 29.—The managers
of the lines members of the Southwestern
Passenger Association, after a lapse of two
weeks, got together again to-day and re
newed their efforts toward pool making.
The major part of the contract had been
agreed to at a previous meeting, but it was
deemed advisable to take up the whole
contract anew. The consequence was that
the members struck a snag iu the first sec
tion defining the classes of business to be
embraced in the pool. Failing to reach
anv unanimous conclusion, the meeting
adjourned until to-morrow morning. J he
hitch was caused by lines terminating at
the Missouri river insisting that those con
tinuing beyond shall pool business origi
nating at local points cast of tho Mississippi.
There is considerable doubt expressed as
to whether the conflicting interests can be
harmonized.
The Newzanrket Itarea.
London, September 29.—At Newmarket
to-day the Great Eastern railway handicap
sweepstakes of £15 each, with £500 added,
for three-year-olds and upwards, to winch
there were forty-four subscribers, was won
by Lord Hasting’s four-year-old brown
colt Pearl Diver, by three-fourths of a
length. Mr. Douglas Baird’s three-year-
old brown colt, Doubloon, was 2d, a neck
in front of Distian, 3d. Eleven ran. The
last betting was seven to one against Pearl
Diver, fourteen to one against Doubloon,
twenty to one against Distian and two to
one against Hainblotoniaii, the favorite.
ITould-lic Duclluts Arrested.
New Orleans, September 29.—Yester
day Naval Officer Kernochan had some
words with Wash Marks regarding the
last congressional campaign i n t he first
district, and Kernochan struck Marks.
Last night it was reported that Marks had
challenged Kernochan. This morning
both were arrested and subsequently re
leased on their own recognizance to keep
the peace.
Toledo, Ohio, September 29.—Attorney-
General Kohler has just delivered an opin
ion upon some features of the Dow law
which must be of great importance to
saloon men, nud, in fact, to everybody in
Ohio. The question ai Issue grew out of
the Bowling Green test ease, lu which the
Finlay Brewing Company’s agent,
Ponchea, was the defendant. This
was a test ease of section 8 of the Dow
law, which gives to tho manufacturers the
right to sell in quantities not less than a
gallon. The Ponchea ease, it will be re
membered, went against the defendant, the
Bowling Green jury probably going on the
supposition that if the Dow law is any good
at alt, It will prohibit in eases like this
when a town votes prohibition. Collector
John F. Kumler, in a recent interview,
held that in eases of tills kind the agent
who sold in quantities of a gallon or more
was not violating tile law. On Friday last
he wrote tho attorney-general lor his opin
ion. n.id to-day received an answer, in
which General Kohler says:
“Section 8 of the act passed May 14,
188(1, Ohio law 83, page 157, commonly
called the Dow law, defines the phrase,
‘trafficking in intoxicating liquors,’ as
used in the act, and says it does not include
the manufacture of intoxicating liquors
from the raw material and the sale there
of by the manufacturer ‘in quantities of
one gallon or more at any one time.’ Tho
manufacturer, therefore, has the right to
sell beer in quantities of not less than one
gallon without being liable for
the special tax, and it is obvious
that he may do this by his agent or
employe. Is does not matter at
what place it is sold, or at how many dif
ferent places in the state, so long ns it is
sold by an agent acting exclusively for his
employer and in good faith; but where an
ngency iB established as a regular business
for the sale of beer and liquors, and such
agent is selling on a salary or commission
for n number of different persons or em
ployers, in such cases, in my opinion, the
special tax would have to bi paid.”
Collector Kumler, whoso views are thus
upheld by the attorney-general, says of
this view: “The conclusion of the whole
matter is that, if the opinion of the attor
ney-general is correct, and I firmly believe
it is, the counties in which the citios, towns
and villages are located which by a vote
have abolished the sale of liquors by the
retail dealer, will not only lose the Dow
law tax (because the retail dealer will
stop selling and demand of the
county treasurer the refunding of the
amount due him for t he unexpired term
of the tax year), but beer will be sold in
quantities of one gallon or more instead of
at retail by the gloss, as was done before
the law was enacted.”
This opinion is of the greatest impor
tance, for it is obvious that it strikes at the
really vital part of the Dow law—the part
that is of most consequence to towns
voting prohibition.

rest nnd after the expiration of
liis service contract, he died. The
commissioner of pensions rejected the
claim upon the ground that he was not at
the time of Ids death in the service of the
United HuitL.i. The secretary in reversing
the commissioner’s decision, is of the opin
ion that being under the orders of an army
officer at the time of his death, lie was
under a liberal interpretation of tho law
in tlie government service, and the war
and navy departments having paid his
widow for his services up to his death, the
petition should ho granted. Mrs. Pavy’s

siou roll at £17 per month.
MiSSiNG FOR SIX YEARS.

Williamsport, Pa., September 27. -On j
April 12, (ssi, A. At. Haswell, a prosperous
resident of ibis eit.v, eloped with Mrs. Win.
New York Sun.
General William Booth, commander-in
chief of the Salvation Army, was a con
spicuous figure among the crowd of pas
sengers on the Aurama’s deck as she came
up the North river yesterday. He had a
chimney-pot hat pulled down upon his
gray head and a heavy overcoat over his
fiery red-and-gold uniform. Copies of the
War Cry stuck out all over from the pock
ets of the overcoat. Commissioner Smith,
of the army in America, came down to the
pier in red helmet and flaming red clothes,
with a subordinate in crimson uniform^
too. Commander Smith had a little silk
American flag tucked inside his coat, and
when Gen. Booth and his wife, who stood
beside him, waved their handkerchiefs.
Commander Smith pulled out his flag and
tried to wave it too. But a citizen in the
crowd who didn’t like the Salvation Army,
made a grab for the flag and struck Com
mander Smith in the Idlest. The com
mander tried to hit back, and there was a
short, sharp and decisive tussle, which
ended in the triumphant waving of the
army flag. Then Commander Smith rushed
to the gang plank, knocking sundry citi
zens hither and thither in his haste, and
shouted “Hallelujah” in vociferous wel
come as Gen. Booth stepped upon the
pier.
The general heaped War Crys upon a
group of reporters who surrounded him,
and then hurriedly denied that his son,
who married Miss Maude Charlesworth,
was going to bring lier to want.
“Miss Charlesworth will have £500 a year
when Dr. Samuel Charlesworth, her
father, dies,” he said, “but it is left to her
so that nobody can touch it, so it is impos
sible that it should go into the Salvation
Army coffers by trickery. All but one of
Miss Charlesworth’s family were delighted
with the match and that one, an uncle,
objects because he didn’t like the army.
That’s all.”
Gen. Booth spent the night at Broker
Morris Smith’s house at 2t> Fourth place,
Brooklyn, and to-day he will start for
Toronto. He is going to return to England
on December 11, and until then will travel
and make speeches. It is his first visit to
America, and he will inspect the finances
of all the American branches of the army
during his travels.
GOT TO THE DANCE.
A Dare-Devil’s Leap from on Express Train Ban
ning Fort) Miles an Ilnur.
Wellsville, Ohio, September 2t>. —
About 9 o’clock last night, as the Cincin
nati fas# express was running between
Newburg and Bedford, a man named
William Fathunor, who was accompanied
by a lady, told the conductor they wished
to get off at Hickman’s Crossing. The
parties were informed that the train would
not stop there, when Fathenor replied he
would get oil'any way. Without another
word, and before he could be interrupted
by either his companion or the train men,
Fathenor darted to tlie rear of the car and
jumped off’. The train, which was running
full forty miles an hour, was immediately
stopped and backed to the spot where it
was expected the dead body of the dare
devil would be found.
No traces of him, however, were to lie
seen, and after a delay of forty minutes
the train proceeded. A section foreman
was notified *of the occurrence, and after
searching for two hours went to a house
near the spot where the man jumped, and
where a dance was in progress. Here
Fathenor was found wholly uninjured and
the liveliest of the party. Fathenor’s com
panion went into hysterics wheii he
jumped from the car, and acted like a
crazy woman. “I wanted to get to the
dance in time,” was the explanation the
crank gave when asked why ho jumped
off. ,~ m
A Corn'd Decision Reversed.
Washington, September29.—The secre
tary of the interior has reversed tlie de
cision of Commissioner Black on the claim
of Lila M. Pavy,widow of Dr. Octave Pavy,
late acting assistant surgeon of the United
States army, under contract with the
Greely expedition, who died of starvation
at Cape Sabine about June (i, ’31. The case
briefly stated is as follows: Some days prior
to the termination of Dr. Pavy’s second
yearly contract he notified Lieutenant
Greely that he would not renew his con
tract for a third year, but would serve
without pay. A short time thereafter
Lieutenant Greely placed him under ar
rest, charging, among other things, insub
ordination. While still under ar-
MuClary, who lived with her husband in
the fashionable quarter oil west Fourth
street. Nothing nan been heard of them
since tlion until to-day, when the report
that they bad been found ill Rockford, 111.,
set the whole city in a whirl of excitement
and the old scandal was revived. Haswell
was an Englishman, and did a thriving up
holstery business liere. He deserted a
comely, intelligent wife, and interesting
children. Mrs. McClarv is a daughter of
the then millionaire, Peter Hcrdlc, and as
Flora Herdlc was well known in social
circles, is he was in every way Inferior to
the wife that Haswell so cruelly deserted.
Mrs. McClary took with her her two chil
dren, both boys, one an infant, and the
j other 1 years old at the time. Slio is now
; a well-preserved woman of about 40 years.
: The guilty pair on leaving Williamsport
movedabout tho country in an aimless
way, and had no abiding place until a few
years ago, when they- went to Rockford
and settled down. There they moved In
good society, were well received socially,
and, to outward appearances, were all
right. They attended church quite regu
larly, and Haswell became in considerable
demand as an upholsterer. A gentleman
from Williamsport happened to meet
them in Rockford last week, and first
brought the intelligence of their where
abouts. Mrs. Haswell was to-day informed
of the discovery, and nt once announced
her intention of apprehending Haswell,
who, she says, owes her money. Mrs.
Haswell is a line-looking woman, and has
universal sympathy, having hud a bitter
struggle since her husband deserted her.
The facts of the elopement are as fol
lows : Mrs. McClary met Haswell at her
home while he was doing some upholster
ing there. She conceived a liking for him
and began to visit his shop. When Mrs.
Haswell upbraided her husband, ho ex
cused it and said it would not do for him
to offend a profitable customer by request
ing a discontinuance of her calls. One
night in Lent Mrs. Haswell strolled up
Fourth street after dark and saw her hus
band a lew steps from MeClary’s residence,
and saw Mrs. McClary coino from the
house and meet him. Just as she stopped
up to Haswell the deceived wife pounced
upon her and choked her until she gasped
for release. Then Haswell pulled his wife
off her and Mrs. McClary ran sobbing
into the house. The next episode
occurred at the funeral of
a child of Mrs. Haswell, when
Mrs. McClary sent a heart of English vio
lets, with a white lily In the centre, with
orders that it be delivered only to Haswell.
Mrs. Haswell threw it into her husband’s
face, and then it was unceremoniously
consigned to the street. Finally Mrs.
Hnswell got a bill of separation requiring
Haswell to pay her $10 a week, which he
has not done since the elopement. He owes
her nearly $4000. McClary, tho deserted
husband, obtained a divorce and is now
Jiving in Delaware. He expects to be mar-
ried_agnin In a short time. When his wife
decamped she took all the silver and table
linen in the house, besides $300 In cash be
longing to her husband. Haswell and Mrs.
McClary are living as man and wife in
Rockford. Thoy have had two children
and are doing well.

Two boys in bud. Jim to Tom—“Take
your old feet away, now.”
Jim—“Ain’t Uurtlu’ you.”
Tom—“You arc gettin' over on my

Jim—“Ain’t.”
Tom—“Are.”

Jim—“An’t, mnw ”
Mother—“Jimmie, tnke your feet away.”

Jim—“1 ain't done—quit, that now!

Mother—“Tommie, behave yourself."

Jim—“ Are too, maw."

The President's Muir,rump Pup.
It will be remembered that Mrs. Cleve
land received soon alter her marriage a
poodle dog, which she had seen at Ant
werp, when she was in Europe, and whose
tricks had greatly interested her. Unluck
ily, Hector, for that is his name, had been
instructed l>y a Frenchman, and could not
understand words of command in English.
Every one knows that it is hard “to tench
an old dog now tricks,” and it is equally
difficult to make one comprehend a new
language. Hector is, however, a knowing
canine, and Sinclair, the president’s valet,
has succeeded in securing his attention.
When Hector whines to go out for a con
stitutional walk ho finds Ills license tag,
without which he cannot appear in the
streets, nnd takes it to Sinclair, who puts it
on, and they sally forth together. Hector
can already distinguish between a senator
nnd an office-seeker, and he may yet be of
great service in guarding tile president.—
Washington letter to Boston Budget.
The Host Ithciiinntir Medicine.
M.\ J. W. Marshall, a merchant in
Haynsville, and well known in Houston
county. Ga., has this to say about the “best
of all rheumatic remedies:”
“I have been a Bufforer from rheumatism
for 28 years; I am now sound and well:
six bottles of Swift’s Specific cured mo. I
write this in the hope that others may
profit by my experience.”
Aniitlior Sufferer.
For six years 1 was afflicted with chronic
rheumatism, part of the timo perfectly
helpless, not beingableto walk at all. For
a while my lclt leg was drawn backward
until nearly doubled. It had a number of
running sores on it. Physicians gave me
no relief. I tried every patent medicine
recommended for rheumatism, being a
druggist myself, but to no profit. At last I
commenced the use of Swift’s Specific. At
first it seemed to make me worse. My leg
was much swollen, and I had a physician
to lance it. I soon began to improve. Af
ter taking less than a dozen bottles of
Swift’s Specific, I found myself sound and
well for the first timo in six years. That
was five months ago ; I have felt no symp
toms of the disease since. 1 believe Swift’s
Specific to be the host of all rheumatic
remedies pintle. I commend it to all who
are suffering as I have suffered.

Green & Co., in their report on cotton futures,
say: Opentng business was at a decline of about
4 points and a little slow, but the reduced cost
seemed to attract prompt attention, leading to a
full recovery and firm close, at last evening’s
rates. The south continued to offer with some
freedom, but this was neutralized by a noticeable
increase in buying orders for investment, in
which eastern operators wore well represented.
