BSATTSABANCS OF YELLOW FIVES
The summer scourge has gained a
foothold in this country—this time in
July. It has appeared in New York,
Key West, and New Orleans Whether
the germs of tbe disease were brought
fr< m Havana, Matanxis, or Vera Crux,
it ia not necessary to inquire. Tbe dis
ease prevails in all three of these tropi
cal cities in an unusually vi- lent form,
and it is reasonable to suppose that
vessels, in spite of all quarantine regu
lalions, have brought it to our shores.
It is scarcely probable that the New
York germ of the disease will come to
much, now that the heated term has
lost its grip in that high latitude. No
case has been detected within the limits
of tbe city, although several have
occurred on vessels in the harbor or at
quarantine. Nor is it likely that distant
and detached Key West will scatter the
disiuaealong our long coast lines. The
chief and perhaps the only source of
danger is New Orleans, and the immu
nity ot the country depends upon the
ability of the health officers of that city
to stamp out the disease before It be-
comes fairly epidemic. It has broken
out early in the season, and the author
ities of New Orleans are compelled to
fight it under abUx'ng sun. A ease ol
the fever has already been carried to
S*. Louis from the Crescent city, not
however with fatal res^js except aa ( to
TBS YSABS BA1LBOAD ACC1DSSTS.
Now that the railroad train has well-
nigh supplanted all other means ot
locomotion gs far as j lurneya of any
considerable length are concerned, the
subject of" individual risks on the rails
becomes a very interesting one. Tbs
Railroad Gaxette has prepared tables
embracing all accidents in this ronntry
for tbe year ending with the month of
June,which enable ns to approximately
ascertain the extent of the risk we take
when we step on board an express or
other train. Daring the year ending
with June, the record is as follows

The averages per day were, for the
month, 187 accidents, 0.40 killed and
183 injured; for the year, 2.22 acci
dents, 0.61 killed and 2 57 injured.
Let ns take up last month’s record in
order to make a closer analysis of the
causes that lead to death and wounds
on the iron track. There were 56 ac
cidents, whereby 12 persona were killed
apd 58 injured,. 8 of these accidents
caused the death of one or more per-
sms; 10 caused injury bnt not death,
while in 38, or 67 0 per cent of the
whole number, there was no injury se
rions enough to be recorded. As com
pared with June, 1877, there was an in
crease of sevsn in the number of acci
dents, a decrease of four in tbe
number killed, and a decrease of 34 in
that injured. These accidents may be
classified according to their nature and
causes as follows

Judge Wright’s letter is evidently in
tended to assure us that he is not a
leader of the independents, and to pro
test, so far as he is corcemed, against
any knowledge of intrigue on the
part of the leaders of independ-
entiem. Our friend probably
means to say that he is not a
politician and has never been
consulted upon the particular topic
which moved him to write to The Cos-
sTriunoE, and in thia we agree with
him. He is a leader of the people
when he cbooees to be, but he ia too
blunt and outspoken to be a profession
al politician; and the only wonder ia to
see him opposing a man whom he esti
mates se highly as he does Judge Lee
The proposal oi tbe p. G. d. was
surge-.live of i< trigue and oi nothing
else, and it was that suggestion that
directed our comments.
As to Dr. Felton’s record and our
dissatisfaction therewith, we have this
to say, and this only: He ia not con
sistent iu votingwi h the party mWash-
ington and attempting to disorganize it
At home. In Washington he followed
cleverly in the wake oi the dtm rcratic
leaders, attended and submitted to the
oarty caucuses—(a very significant
lactlj-and was otherwise submissive
to what he is pleased to term "the party
lash.” At home, he is opposed to nom
■nations, and opposed to everything
that does not point straight to disorgin-
xaiion. In Washington he is a caucus
democrat—at home he is strictly
disorganizer. This is his record, and it
is upon this record that we oppose and
arraign him. It is this record that con
demns him; it is this record that will
defeat him at the polls. Qoeerly
enough, Judge Wright asks why the
Ringgold convention did not nominate
D.-. Felton. We might ask why Dr
Felton did not submit .his name to the
convention. When approached upon
tbe subject, he flouted the idea and de
dared he would have nothing to do
with conventions. Mr. Stephens took
no such stand, but on the contrary,
even while Dr. Felton was lauding him
to the skies and holding him up as the
typical independent of ,the
age, Mr. Stephens was telling a demo
cratic audience that he believed in or
ganization and was in favor of nomina
tions. These facts are a sufficient an
swer to Judge Wright’s c.mparison of
Dr. Felton’s position to that ol Mr.
Stephens. One is in favor of preserv
ing tbe harmony and unity of the
democratic party and the other is in
favor of destroying them.
In view of the well known posi
tion oi the democratic party on the fi
nancial issues of the day, it would
be a waste of time and space
to comment upon that portion
Judge Wright’s letter which touches
upon these questions. It is sufficient
o say that no great issue—not even
that which seems to promise financial
rebel to the people—can be carried to
success without organization. When
Dr. Felton opposes organization, he
also opposes the success
the important issues,
before the country. He would
break, up parties and transform the
democracy inio a herd cf howling pa
triots without bead or tail—a purpose-
less, helpless mob. That is Dr. Fe!
ton’s platform, and upon that platform
intelligent men are asked to support
him. We shall see whether they re
spond to the extraordinary summons.
the man who car rid iiorlh ward the
seeds of the fever. We shall keep our
readers as well informed as to the sitn
nation at New Orleans as the press of
that cilv will permit. The time has
come for a revelation of the whole
truth, and wears glad the Picayune has
decided to stop the rumors that are
magnified as they travel, by giving all
the feels connected with the appear
ance of the fever in its city.

QUANT AS A CANDIDATE.
There ia an nnuaual stir in the camp
of the bummers. The political tramp,
hearing the tap of the office-holders'
dinm, yawns and stretches himself.
Word has gone along the line. A strong
man must be nominated—a man strong
enough to pot thieves in office and keep
them there—strong enough to protect
and pardon such honest patriots as
Babcock, Bws Sheppard, fi.-lkoap and
Deacon McKee, ot tbe St. Louis Globe-
Democrat. The republican party moat
be kept np at all hazards, if only for
the purpose of fattening the hundreds-
of beef-eaters who thrive on the spoils
of effice. A protectorate most be es
tablished in the interest of republican
knaves, and Grant ia the only man the
republic ever produced that seems fit
ted both by nature and education to
brave tbe .disgust and face the acorn
and contempt of honest people. There
fore he is to be the republican candi
date for the president. The party,
thorougly and shamelessly corrupt, has
no other choice. By common consent
the organs have fixed upon Grant as the
only candidate able to revive the fast
decaying organization, and Grant it will
be. The knaves and thieves having a
lively Reflection of the courtesies ex
tended te them daring his tdministnu-
tion, will fiuck naturally to his support,
while the more respectable voters will
be called upon to reward him a third
time for the bloody blunders that
brought success to the onion army un"
der his command.
It is impossible to deceive of a bet
ter plan to bring the intelligence and
honesty of the country face to face with
the real, living issues tha* divids par
ties, and to that end tbe democrats can
well afford to view with complacency
any movement that has for its objec
the renomination of Grant and the re
suscitation of the corrupt practices and
official abuses that made his adminir.
tration infamous. Tbe record ef Gen.
Grant daring the eight years of dis
grace that cover his occupation of the
white house, will fit -rieely in with the
aubiequent bands of the party leaden
in stealing the electoral votes ol Florida
and Louisiana, upon which the democ
racy will go before the country. Only
in this way can the campaign against
fraud be made perfect in all its parts,
and the democrats may therefore visa
with the liveliest satisfaction the grad
ual development of the plot to renomi
nate the great nng master of repnbli-
AN EXT AS AITS FAMILY.
The approaching marriage of Arthur
dnkeof Gonr ought, Qteen Victoria*,
third son, to Princess Marie Louise cl
Pmsaia, lad of coarse to a massage fron
lbs queen asking her faithful common
era to give the duke from the commor
puree an additional allowance of fifty
thousand dollars a year. This
request led also of courw
to a weal protest and a few weak ms-
neuvna on the part of the radicals
and equally of course to an acquits
cence by the commons in the queen’s r. a
quest without a division. In theevec,

Oi tne collisions one was between
two passenger trains, four between it
passenger and a freight, and five be
tween freight trains; 13 derailments
were of passenger and 30 oi freight or
service trams, and all of the other.ect
dents were to freight trains. The ten
collisions killed thiee and injured
eighteen persons, while the forty-three
derailments killed nine and injured
forty.
The conspicuous feature of the month
ia tbe very small proportion of collis
ions, leas than half the usual average.
Four derailments with malicious intent
are recorded, one by removing a rail
one by removing tho fastening! sots
to allow the rails to spread; one by
misplacu g a switch, and one by placing
obstructions on the track. In one cf
these cases it ia said that a person
plpced the obstructions, hopirg to earn
the company’s gratitude by flagging
and stving a train, but he was not
quite quick enougn. Three accidents
are included which from their very na
lure imply carelessness in using or ob
serving signals, two where trains ran
into open draw-bridges, and one where
trackmen removed a rail without first
putting out warning signals. Mis
placed switches are again on the in-
We take great pleasure in printing
elsewhere a characteristic letter from
Jndge Augustus R. Wright, of Rime,
in which he takes occaaim to pay
very graceful tribute to The OoEtTrru
nos as a newspaper. It 'a, of course,
unnecessary to say that we appreciate
most keenly the compliments which
Judge Wright has seen proper to pay
us. He is a gentleman of taste, cal
tore and experience, and hia praise, in
matters that appeal to the intelligence
and the judgment, ia well worth win
ning. It gratifies ua, therefore,
know that the main features of Tax
CoxamcTiox meet his hearty approval,
and those who know Judge YVrigh
will doubtless pardon an inclination
to plume ourselves upon the fact.
Meanwhile, we beg to aseure om
friend, the judge, that we are in no
wise responsible for the extraordinary
preposition made to Mr. Hayes’s ad
ministration by "a prominent Georgia
democrat,” and in discussing it we
were necessarily compelled to look at
the matter pretty much from th.
stand-point of the aforesaid p. G. d.
We were compelled to accept his in
terpretation of the intent and mean
ing of the independent movement in
Georgia. We had no right
to regard him merely
a pioneer. According to the best
evidence, hia letter to the postmaster-
general was a proposition to «i«Kii.K
an independent organ in Atlanta hav
ing for its purpose the success of thai
movement as opposed to the democrat
ic party, and an exceedingly broad
suggestion to the effect that as the
democracy was to be attacked and, i<
possible, to be divided and destroyed
it was in order for the administration
to manifest a lively sympathy in the
natter by extending to the proposed
irgan a few
tovernment gruel. Turning thr
natter over in our minds, nothing was
mure natural than the suggestion that
the leaders of independenlism, looking
to greater results than the
bench. On the secession of Texas
from the union, Judge Rob
erts resigned from the eupreme
court, and took command, as colonel
of the sixteenth Texas regiment, in
which capacity be displayed all the
qualities of a soldier and endeared him
self to his men, not only by gallantly
leading them wherever duty called, but
by extending over them the kindly
care of a lather lor his children. Be
fore the close of the war he was again
placed on the supreme bench, from
which he was removed on the com
mencement of reconstruction'measures
in Texas. In 1866 he was elected
United States senator, but was not
permitted to take his rest. After this
he resumed the practice of his profes
sion, in which he continued till the
inauguration cf Gov. Coke in IS74.
hen be was oppointed chief justice ol
the supreme court, and to the same
position under the new constitution he
was nominated by the democratic con
vention that met in Galveston, Janu
ary, 1876, and elected without opposi
tion.
The platform declares that state
troops should be kept in the field for
the protection of the lrontier; recom

votion of Texas democrats to

TBS CINCINNATI SOOTBEBN.
The trustees of the Cincinnati South
ern railroad have awarded the contrac;
for the completion of the road from
Somerset to Boyce station, near Chat
■anooga, to Messrs. R. H. Hus’on &
Oo. The price named is *1,672.000.
The contract provides for the erection
of thirty-four iron bridges sod trestles
and twelve wooden bridges, and that
the road shall be finished by August
20,1879. For every day that the road
remains incomplete after that date the
contractors are to pay a forfeit of one
thousand dollars. The securi
ty offered by the bidders
is said to be ample, tbe bidders areBaid
to be skillful men, and there is every
reason to anticipate the completion of
tbe road at the time named in the cun
tract.
This however, depends upon the rat
ification of the contract by the citizens
of Cincinnati, who will be called np..n
to vote yea or nay upon the proposition
to issue two millions more o! bonds
within the next twenty days. Tbt
plan that the people of Cincinnati will
vote upon looks to a completion of tbe
road under the supervision ot the trui
tees before any arrangement is made for
either the leasingortheoperation by tbe
city of the road. The Cincinnati papers
do not think alike on this subject. Tbe
Enquirer and the Gazette favor a cum
pletion of the road by the citv and then
the leasing of it. The Commercial fa
vors the Stone bid, which involves
thirty-year lease, to begin as soon as
tbe contract ia ratified. It wants the
road taken out of the hands of the city.
Tbe Times substantially agrees with
the Commercial. If the Huston bid
rejected at the coming election, the
Stone bid would become available, and
would doubtless be accepted. It seems
to be thought that the Huston bid will
be rejected unless the friends
of completion before a lease
go to work. The Chattanooga
Times prefers the Huston bid to alt
others, and wears inclined to coincide
in its opinion. What those at the
south end of the line want is, an early
opening cl the entire line to traffic
The Huston bid ensures that, and so,
perhaps, would tbe Stone bid, but the
latter being a lease for a generation,
might not satisfy the hopes ol all con
cerued as well sa a lease of a completed
road would, made a year hence in bet
ter times.

agricultural organizations, and the de
partment of agriculture are consecu
tively treated of, ani all the facts rela
tive thereto clearly and succinctly
stated. Under the head of the govern
ment of Georgia we have a clear and
vigorous analysis of the new constitu
tion, the first, we believe, that has
ever been published. There is also
the most complete list of Georgia news
papers ever published.
Part second is devoted to sectional
divisions and county statistics,showing
the distinctive features of the various
portions of the'' state. These are ar
ranged in divisions with a view to
more intelligible presentation, and
accompanied byststistical facta of pub
lic interest in relation to the several
counties. Beginning with northeast
Georgia every section of the state is
thoroughly described, and every mate
rial fact of interest presented. We can
cot better conclude thin hastily-written
notice of this valuable work than by
supplementing iv with a quotation
from Dr. Janes’s preface, speaking
of Georgia, he aptly says: “Hergovern
ment has been restored to a healthful
condition, and law and justice obtain
throughout her borders. But hsr labor
system is not well organized, and her
capital seriously reduced m amount; as
a necessary consequence, a large por
tion of her fertile fields is uncultivated
her exhaustless mines of the nsef ul and
precious metals are but partially work
ed, and her noble forests of timber are
but partially utilized. Never was a
field for both capital and labor more in
viting. The resources of Georgia have
only to be knownto attract to her the
idle capital of other countries as well
as our own, and vflHndustrious popu
lation to utilize it in almost every
known branch of human industry,”
TBS DAMERON CASS.
This famous case, with all of its At
lanta variations, is 8u Louis’ latest sen
sation. It has been transferred from
the ecclesiastical to the law courts,
comes up in the form of a libel suit
brought by James H. Chambers against
Messrs Dameron and McAnaily, the
publishers of the St. Louis Christian
Advocate, the damages being placed at
*50,000. Mr. Dameron claims a prior
copyright to that of Mr. Chambers on
tie published lectures of Bishop Mar
vin, relative to the papacy. In the
course of the dispute Mr. Dameron call
ed Mr.Chambers a “literary pirate”and
various other bad names, in his paper,
whereupon Mr. Chambers sued the pub.
lishers of the paper for libel. Mr. Dam
cron’s theory of defence in partis, that
tbere.ia and long has been a conspiracy
to push bolh himself and Dr. McAnaily
om of Methodism. The chief “conspir
ators” are Rev. Dr. Wilson, tbe pastor of
8:. John’s church from which Mr. Dam-
cron was expelled on account of “im
morality,” Presiding Elder L3wisJ“Mr.
It. M. Scruggs, Mr Simuel Cupplesand
other leading Sl Liuia Methodists. The
taking of depositions in tbe case has
been going on lor several days, and Mr.
Dameron’s counsel endeavored to prove
by Mr. Scruggs that the card signed
"Emory,” which appeared originally in
tie Georgia Methodist, was after
wards published in The Constitution
and was "approved” in a subsequent
note by Messrs Scruggs and Cupples,
was really the product of their pens.
Mr. Dameron claims, we suppose, that
the “Emory” card was a part ol the
general conspiracy. Mr. Scruggs re
fused to answer the question as to its
authorship on the ground of irrelevan
cy. Dr. Wilson, for a like reason, re
fused to answer a similar question.
Mr. Scruggs, who is one of St, Louis’s
substantial citizens, was immediately
committed for contempt of court, and
marched off to jail. Dr. Wilson went
along as a volunteer martyr. A writ
of habeas corpus was sued out, but
the judge before whom the prisoner
was taken, decided that he had no
power to either nullify or modify tbe
order of commitment. This Was on Sat-
day afternoon a week ago, and it began
to look as if Mr. Scruggs would have to
spend the hottest Sunday on record in
jail. He was game, however, and it is
ueedless to say that the gamey Damer
on was on hand, as full of fight as
porcupine. The order of commitment
was finally modified so as to operate
from the following Monday, when Mr,
8crugge concluded to answer all ques
tions. Up to Thursday last, the taking ef
depositions was progressing, and no one
could see the end of them. The tit. Louis
papers give a great deal of space to the
case, each report coming out with sen
sational head lines. It is plain that the
leading Methodists of St. Louis are ar
rayed against the redoubtable Dame
ron, but that probably counts for very
little in his mind, as he is one of those
who are happiest in a fight. He would
as eoon fight a battalion as a single file.

We are under obligation, to Dr.
Thomas P. Janes, the state commis
sioner of agriculture, for a bulky pam
phlet entitled “A Manual of Georgia.’'
This pamphlet has been prepared un
der the direction of Dr. Janes for the
use of immigrants, and ia in every par
ticular the completeat and moet elabo
rate work of the kind ever leaned in
the south. It seems impossible that a
query could euggeet itself to the mind
of those who contemplate settling in
this state that is not fully answered
under some one of the various captions
and snb-csptiona into which the book
is divided. When we say tbe work is
elaborate, we use the word in ita fullest
significance. A Test deal of labor has
been expended in collecting the tacts
presented, and unusual discrimination
has been displayed in their arrange
ment.
Part first of the Manual treats of tbe
gee graphical situation of Georgia, its
territorial extent and capacity for pop
ulation, its physical formation—treat
ing of tbe three natural divisions, the
low country, tha hill country and the
mountain region—its climate and rain
fall, ita Boil and productions. The
treatment of these subjects is exhaus
tive. No fact his been omitted that
would be likely to prove interesting to
those in search of homes or invest
ments. The capacity oi Georgia soil
under high culture is illustrated by a
tranreript from the records of the va
rious state and county fain held dur
ing the past few years. In thia par
ticular Georgia chaliergea comparison
with any state in the onion. The in
stances of production adduced are
something marvellous. They are
exceptional, of ccurae, bnt they
are cited by Dr. Janes to show
the capacity of our soil when
cultivated with intehigesee. The

A Compromise kffteted and l*lgbt
Ahead a* JLast. -
We are rejuiced to learn that at last
the differences between the stockholders of the
Atlanta cotton factory have been adjusted, and
that the turbulent scenes that characterized the
last meeting will not be repeated on tne 10ih
August.
a ST BOKO AND HARMONIOUS BOARD.
We learn that the opposition, or ita representt-
ttyes, proposed to yield all farther straggle if
the “old board” party would put on two direc
tors suggested by them. They proposed four
names. Of these. Mr W H Inman was at once
elected to fi*l the vacancy occasioned by the
ttracy of Mr Hoke Bmiih. He and bis brother,
Mr W alter Inman, spent a day In ^r*min|pg the
books, the bnildin&s, etc, and he then accepted
the plac , took hia seat in the board, and entered
atooce actively upon his duties. We understand
that Major W B Cox will bo voted for unani
mously at the August meeting in the place
Mr Bstes, of Lowell. There will then be only
one ticket for directors ran, the old ticket with
Messrs Inman and Cox in the place of Messrs
Smith and Bates.
We feel sore that all onr people w*il be glad
know that this amicable settlement haa been
reached, and that with every interest represent
ed on the board, the effice of the directors will
be safely administered. We believe this removes
the last obstacle to starting the factory .and music

A DISCLAIMER
Another feller who thinks I’m a ctn-
didate, cornea out with a whole lot of
unmitigated, and abuses me for runnin
a Sunday school in Dr. Felton’e chapel.
Well, that do settle it. That feller
wants light. I never was nigher io the
chapel than the big road in
my life, but spose I was,
Mr. Muttonhead, what’s that got to do
with paster, and what are you goin* to
do about it 7 I recken you got your
sirnderin from that crazy amt-z >n whom
everybody pities and nobody believeB,
and who has been for yearp tryin to
regulate society down to her standard.
Allow me to inform you that my friend
Wm. Pinkney Smith, alias Peckerwood,
who has a red head and a big heart, is
runnin that school, and if yon’l come
over he’l teach you the ten command
ments and maybe yon’l find out there’s
two of ’em mighty hard down upon
ly : n. Pm sorry for you and all such :
for when yon die and knock at the gate
and S» Peter at kb yon what made you
vote agin Luster I suppose you will
say “oecaus Bill Arp run a Sunday
school in Felton’s chapel.” My poor
unfortunate feller-man what do yon
reckon wonld become of yon then?
Now I want all these mistaken people
to understand that the man who is
runnin against Dr. Felton is
GEORGE NELSON LUSTER,
the same good and pure man that Dr.
Felton alluded to 4 years ago when he
declared in public that w if the conven
tion was to Dominate ap good and puree,
man as Geo. N Luster I would ground
arms and retire to priy&te life.” That’s
the man. He lives down here in Ma
rietta end was appointed judge by
Gov. Colquitt over all the pressure that
Joe Brown could bring to bear for
Jeems. You see the Gov. didn’t know
then that he had been stealin and
plnnderin and be took it for granted
that Dr. Felton told the truth, and it was
the trn h, and it’s the truth now, and
will continue to be when Luster gets
to congress, for to congress he will go
jaatassertin as the people get light
and knowledge. Aod then when this
little race is over and all of us
settle down in the old channels
and the good doctor shakes off his love
foi Washington and concentrates his
affections once more upon the unpre-
tendin’ chapel; the nabors will rejoice
and be glad, and if me and my folira
can’t get a front seat, then we’ll be con
tent with a back one, and then that
charity which is always kmd and en-
durethatl things will prevail. If some
of us are such awful sinners, the
greater the need of a middle man, and
the work oughtent to be done like an
epidemic, but we ought to be wound
up every Suaday, like a clock; and if
the doctor wanted to be oriained, why,
everybody will vote for it—and if he
didn’t, we’ll take him on faith, jesso,
and then, maybe, the wheat crop wonld
turn out better, and the peaches will
hit, and the summer rains will come,
and everything be lovely, and
EVERYBODY CALM AND SERENE.
When I take in these butifol pros
pects, I wish there wasent but one side
to this bisness, and that was our side;
but then, agin, when I hear of some

the charm is breken, and lfeel like ex

THE NASHVILLE TRAGEDY.
A WALK1MG DEAD MAN.
At noon a few days since when the
sun waa shin ng its brightest and sending down
ita oliatering rays upon onr people, a reporter of
The Constwction, bathed with perspiration,
which ocz.-d copiously Irom every portion of his
skin, met upon Whitehall afreet, a tong, lank
and hungry looking specimen of humauity.who
appeared to bo taking the weather quietly, and
looked as
COOL AS AN ICEBERG.
While standing In the burning rays in con
versation' with his friend, the reporter asked
him how he stood the warm weather?
“Oh, bnliy ;** said he, “I do not feel hot in the
least."
“What kind of a man are yon that you do not
teal the heat ?** remarked tho reporter.
"Well, you see I am not flashy,
and am rather advanced in yean.
Constquehtly, the bones of my body soak up alj
the moisture that Is in the flesh, if I have any
at all in my body."
" Were you always this kind of a
HALF DEAD PEtSONr*
and the reporter applied tbe augur again.
" When I was young," said he, "I used to per
spire more freely tnan At present, or, in other
words, my body was more jnicy, so to speak.
Age, however, haa caused me to depreciate in
elzs, and now 1 believe that I am actually drying
up."
Then yon never Buffer with heat?" asked
the reporter.
" No,” said he, "heat doea not affect me in the
least. It has been
TWENTY YEARS
since a drop of perspiration has parsed through
my akin."
"Well. now. how about the chilling weather
of the winters In this section ? Do }on feel cold
when tne snow Is a foot thick upon !2iegrouDu?'<
♦ No," said he, • the weather of winter and
tummer ia ail the same to me. I never feel
warm in summer nor cold in winter; lniacr,
the temperature ol my body ia the same all the
year around, and I bnve no feeling whatever in
my body when the teutons change."
"Oh, yes, I see what is the matter," said the
reporter; "yon are what might be called
a walking dead man,
a man who can move around like the generality
of mankind, but who cannot tell the difference
between winter and summer unless tbe almanac
is consulted."
" Yes,” replied
call it that."
The reporter could feel a perfect shower-
bath ol perspiration trickling down bis body
r lean brother, *700 might
while talking to the mummy.
"Do yon change your clothing in the summer
so as to accommodate tbe weather?*’ asked the
reporter.
"No; I make no change whatever in my cloth
ing. as I only keep one suit on hand at a time.
To change that and put on a summer suit, aa
yon call it, I would have to go in a nude slate,
and this would entitle me to service In the
chain gang of the city tor an unlimited period,"
replied our friend.
At thia moment tne little breeze that had been
blowing died out and the reporter tainted away,
being overcome with the beat.
When ha recovered ho found that kpoultice
of crushed lea waa being applied to his bead by
the hands of the lean friend who stood bendin g
over his recovering form. Owing to the atten
tion given by the statue and the cooling cffec.s
of the ice, the reporter is once more able .0 at

from counties on the line of the Union Padflc
railroad between Omaha and Kearney, and along
the line of tbe Omaha and RepubUcm Valley
railroad, showing the harvest wheat nearly com.
pitted. The yield Is not aa large aa expected,
owing to recent severe storms, but is larger than
last year on account of greatly increased accre-
age. This applies to all other grains Bye and
corn give an immense yield, estimated at near
ly 60million bushels.
Nashville, July 25.—The tragedy of
yesterday still absorbs all attention.
Ed. Jones, a couBin oi Mr. Hicks, went
before Justice Creighton arid swore ont
a warrant for the arreet of Edward
Baxter and Jere Bax’er, charging them
with “the murder of Samuel H. Hicks ’*
The warrant was served upon them by
officer E-*h. Corbitt, and they were
taken before Justice Creighton, who
allowed them to give a bond of $20,000
($5 l ,000 for each) for tbeir appearance
for trial at 9 o’clock on Month.v, Aug 5.
WHAT CAUSED THE TROUBLE.
Hicks made a violent speech at the
speaking of the “independents,” corner
of Cherry and Cedar streets, Tuesday
night. He said that Moore had on his
dying bed called Judge Baste' to bis
side and bad entrusted bis family to his
keeping, that he had violated f loe trust
committed to his hands and had se*
duced his (Hicks’s) mother-in-law; that
he (HickBj had been classed on the
streets as a blackmailer, and that he
felt was bound to defend his honor if
the rsportB were continued in circula
tion ; that he had the proof and wonld
produce it if necessary; that he had {
met Jndge Baxter on the street and had •
dared him to say a word abont it. -A
Hicks said he did not care for all the
Baxters. Ho waa xeeponBible for what
he said and could be found at 37 1 2
Union street from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
HOW THEY MET.
The Baxters did not expect so soon
to have any difficulty. Thev had agreed
to meet ac Jere Baxter’s office to con
sider whether it was not best to pay
no attention to Hicks’ harrangue off
the night previous, and were on their
way there when they suddenly and un-
expectedjy came into collision with
Hicks, who had precipitated the affray
by attempting tc draw his pistol as tne
Baxters had reached Wigger’s corner
and were abont to proceed across Cher
ry street toward Jere Baxter's office. It
is claimed that Hicks fired the first
shot.
AN INCIDENT.
Constable H M vfiicva went over
to see if he could not stop the disturb
ance and found chat Ed and Nat. B x-
ter were themselves attempting to stop
ihe fight by pulling J-re off Hicks,
when Hicks ran down Union street.
Jere, somehow or other, thought Con
stable Manlove was Hick's friend and
presented a pistol at his breast, when
Nat. and BJ. Baxter threw up tho pis
tol and told Jere to “stop l stop 1” aa
he had his pistol pointed toward the
wrong man. Manlove then went into
Poole’s gallery, where he said he saw
some one
SHOOT AT JONES BAXTER,
who was standing quietly on the side
walk as if he thought the melee was
over. It is stated that it can be proved
that Jones Baxter was shot by some
paity whose name and whereabouts has
not yet been discovered. They will as
sert that they saw the xran fire tbe shot
that produced Jones Baxter’s death.
It was the second shot from this yet
unknown man that passed through
Alice Beil’s leg and struck Nat. Baxter’s
instep, causing it to immediately swell
to such an extent as to render him
quite lame. As to who killed Jonei
Bixter is now the mystery to be
solved.
THE BAXTERS.
Jones Baxter was about thirty years
of age, and was the fourth son of Judge
Nathaniel Bixter. He married Bettie
Parkins, a step-daughter of John H.
Ewin, and has since resided in the
country, pight miles from the city on
the Franklin turnpike, taking for his
occupation that of a farmer. He leaves
a wife and four children, the youngest
but eix weeks old.
Jere Baxter was shot in the hand,
but it is not known fchen or how.
