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 We heard a gen tleman say on our streets a few days since that he understood that all tho candidates for sheriff had withdrawn from the race except fourteen.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.” BLOOD IN A BUGGY.

CAUGHT BY A NEW TRICK. New l.aw Turned to Amain! Iij Adroit Hlack- mnllers—Jnckzon Thought Hi- .van l.tirk,v to la* Aide to liny Ills Freedom (’rout Sfnle ; Prison—Bui Son lie Knows now lie was I 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. Back to Sew York from New l.omlon null Im- proved In Health. 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. THE HEAD OF THE SALVATION ARMY. Genera! Booth Arrives in Full BeatnieatalH anil Is Welcomed with a Hush. 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 name was ordered to be placed on tho puu- siou roll at £17 per month. MiSSiNG FOR SIX YEARS. Tlie Dillliv liter ct‘ I’eler Iterdlc a ml the Mun She Kliqieil With Fuunil in Illinois. 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. Ko)nl Arch Mnson*.

Galveston, Tex., September 29.—A special to the News from San Antonio says: A train was wrecked on the Southern Pacific road west of here yesterday. Horace Daniels, engineer, was killed, and the fireman and hrakoman badly injured. Another wreck was reported east of here last night. The passenger train on tlie In ternational road was also reported to have been wrecked near Davenport last even ing, but no particulars have been received. The wrecks were caused by the displace ment of the tracks by tho recent heavy rains. Nominali'il for Congress. NORTHVIELD, Minn., September 29.— B. B.

One of the most interesting and success- | ful newspaper enterprises of the past few ! years is wlmt, is known as the Senatorial Edition of a Washington, I). 0., local pa per. It is eight pages illustrated, printed on fine tinted paper, containing life-like i photo-portraits and biographical sketches | of each member of the United States son- : ate, together with a full history of that dis tinguished body from its organization to the present time. In addition to the indi- | vidual pictures, a most remarkable group i of the entire senate standing on the steps ! of thecapitol forms the frontispiece or title page, the picture being ;taken especially for this edition, and with such artistic care I that each face is a striking like ness. Senators have given it their j countenance and liberal support, and al ready the sales have reached nearly half a million. This is tlie first instance ever \ offered where so concise and striking a his- ! tory of the U. S. senate has been given to j the public, it will serve not only as a souvenir of the times, but ns a political record for reference in the event of the death of a member, his rise in public ca reer, or for duta in the choice of future presidents. There are but few advertise ments, and the paper is of such intrinsic value that it should be bought up and laid away as a prize. The Blake Publishing Company, of Bal timore, Md., have procured control ot the senatorial edition, and are furnishing same by mail upon receipt of 10 cents. Mutlirrl) Firmness. Arknnsnw Traveler.

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. John R. Peel, With C. E. Obiuchain, Druggist. Pilot Point Texas, Jan., 188ti. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
