ther Notice.
AS IMPOSTER EXPOSED.
We are informed that an individual named
Wm. Wilson, a printer formerly residing in
this city, has recently been in Chattanooga
and is now in Kashville, informing people
that he was cno of the proprietors of the At
lanta Herald, and that be sold oat his inter
est because he wai unfairly treated by his
“partners." We also learn that he has been
and still is indulging abuse of the proprietors
of the Herald. It is proper to state that this
man never owned one piece of type in the
Hebald establishment and never had any
connection with this paper. He was employ
ed in onr job office for several months, and
was dismissed because we discovered that he
was dishonest and was systematically swin
dling ns.
SOMETHING WORTH NOTICING.
Onr city cotemporary a«ks his readers to
“take notice" that he prints the latest tele
graphic markets. Well, considering that we
print the identical market reports, we cannot
find any point in it.
Onr cotemporary, however, will scarcely
venture to ask them to “take notice” of how
badly the Hebald of yesterday, sent down
the West Point road, beat him in ntics as well
as enterprise.
We propose to direct their attention to the
matter. The-Hebald beat them yesterday in
their West Point mail as follows:
In telegraphic news—About the Italian
Boy Stealers; Fire in Ohio; Murder in Penn
sylvania; Catholic Consistory; Francis Jo-
seph's-proposed'visit to St. Petersburg; Hom
icide at Kingston; the Steamer Virginias
Question; Latest abont the Waddell-Phillips
affair; the Debate in the French Assembly;
rumored reappearance of Cholera in Nashville;
in short, we beat the Broad-Strest-Five-Thou-
sand-Dollar-Depositor by abont one-half the
telegraphic news.
In the local column, onr West Point Bail-
road subscribers read in the Hebald of the
burglary on Dr. Wilson; of Society News;
of the forthcoming theatrical season; of Em
ory College Commencement; of the proceed
ings in the Police and Jnstices’ Courts; of
the pardon of a Convict; of the case before
the United States Commissioner, of the
fi. fa. issued against Foster Blodgett’s^ se
curities ; in fine, they read all the local news,
while the subscribers of our cotemporary got
only Col. Halbert’s letter.
It 4 rather unkind in us to show
how four filths of the news which
we gave to onr subscribers was not
given to the subscribers of onr neigh
bor; because everybody knows that the
Hebald daily pnblishes more news than it
does. However, since it colls upon its read
ers to “take notice,” we feel anxious to have
them “take notice” of something really
worth noticing.

The Goss Murder Mystery—Investigation by
the Coroner.
Philadelphia. July 24, 1873.
The evening telegraphic dispatches from West
chester reports that the Coroner of Chester county
yesterday visited Athensville and Crynmawr, for the
purpose cf investigating the Goss murder case, and
ascertained many particulars of Goss, alias Wilson,
while residing in those places, and be has arrived at
following conclusions:
It now appears from the evidence thus far ob
tained that Badersook left Baltimore with fifteen hun
dred dollars, and was to meet Goss or Wilson in
Philadelphia and give him money and see him on
board a steamer for some European port, but rather
than part with the fnnds he takes him to the country
and murders him, pockets the money, and returns to
Baltimore.
THE TURF.
The Saratoga Lacing Course.
SaraiOga, July 24. 1873.
The meeting of the Saratoga Racing Association was
inaugurated to-day with splendid weather and an ex
cellent track.
The first race—for traders’ stakes, of one and three-
quarter miles, for three year olds—was the great
event of the day, and created intense excitement
There were seventy-nine nominations, of which the
following started : Murdock, Count D’Orsay, Spring-
book, Tom Bowling, Fellowcralt, McCormick, Waverly,
and Free Lance. Count Dorsay did not getaway
when the flag fell, and was out of the race from thi
start Bowling won. Springbook, wbo ran lappiDg
him for the greater part of the race, at the furlong
pole, on the home stretch, threw bis rHlee—ttens
3095^. After the race a claim of foul riding was made
against Tom Bowling. The jockey asserted that he
rode over Springbook, cutting his left fore leg. The
judges^ after a prolonged consultation, decided
against the appeal, and gave the
race to Bowling, with Waverly two,
Mur doc third. The injury to Springbock is slight.

THAT SPECIAL. TRAIN
LAST.”
“THAT CAK’T
I
A city contemporary, in a miserable little
lling—teeming with envy and spite—noticed
elsewhere in the.HEnaLD, asserts that the Heb
ald will break down in its special mail train
project, assuming, ungrammatically as well
as maliciously, “that it can’t keep running !’
This is not the first time that this same
paper has taken occasion to comment upon
the mutability of tbiDgs pertaining to the
Hebald; and we had hoped that the long
aeries of falsifications given to their
croaking prophecies wonld “have, ere this,
cored them of sucking eggs.” It seems, though,
that, with a perseverance worthy of a better
cause, they persist in their unmanly and fool
ish coarse. Now, in regard to onr special
mail train, we have to say for once and for all.
to friends and enemies, that the chartering of
that train was a well considered, carefully de
bated project, and beyond perchance or per
adventure, it icill make a regular trip every
morning, carrying The Daily Hebald mails,
until the schedule is so changed that u>e can sat
isfaclorily carry our mails on the regular train
even if this should It ten years off. The change
of forty minutes in the present schedule would
grire us all the time we want—enabling na to get
in onr midnight dispatches, which do not now
arrive until the train haagone; and it is hoped
and believed that, when the Directors of the At
lanta and West Point K ailrosd see the deter-
mined and bold step taken by the Hebald,
they will at onoe yield to the suggestions of
this energy and enterprise, and give ns the
desired change. If not, the Herald's special
train will be like Tennyson’s brook—“ men
may come, and men may go, but it will run
on forever.”
We will farther say that the proprietors
the Hebald have determined that the capric
ious fluctuations of railroad schedules shall
instance with the prompt
ry^f this paper- A nd th ®y hereb T » n
that when the seh«*almoa any road
leading ont of Atlanta becomes so shortened
thst we cannot properly deliver onr papers
the regular trains, we shall at onoe pnt on
special train, and run it, as we will do in this
ease, tilf the schedule is adjusted to suit our
purp oses.
It may not he amiss, in Ibis connection,
state to our cotemporary, wbo takes such
melancholy interest in our affairs, that we
propose to make the Hebald a first—class
newspaper in every respect aa feat as the several
needed development# can be made. If it in
tends to seriously attempt a rivalship with us,
it should at once quit its foolishness and get
down to solid work. A commendable initia
tory step wonld be to eall in some of its nu
merous “five thousand dollars deposits, and
devote at least part of this fand to the chapter
ing • of a train, to supply its baaigkted nnb.
scribers along tlis West Point road with a
fresh and readable paper. We don’t charge
anything for this advice.

Notwithstanding the legal proceedings by the butch-
•a. poultrymen and lruitmeu to avert the demolition
of their stalls and booths outside of Washington Mar
ket, tbe work of destruction was renewed as early as
clock, this morning in the presence of a large num
ber of police and about 2,000 spectators. Tbe Board
of Health had secured the services of 150 special men,
and at 8 o'clock hardly a booth was left standing. The
owners of booths showed no fight whatever, and the
removal of the debris is being continued in a peaceable
manner.

Legal questions in regard to the removal of booths
around Washington Market, will be argued before tha

A collision took place last night at an up-town gar
den known as Leon Park, where a military organiza
tion. known as the Knights of Columbia, were holding
a picnic. When the programme of dancing was ex
hausted the band hired for the occasion refused to play
more without further pay. Tbe picnickers insisted on
compelling tbem to play. An angry altercation ensued,
and Captain McDonald and tbe police interfered to
preserve order, and were assailed by the Knights with
clubbed muskets, and tbe latter used clubs. Five of
the Knights were scalp-wonnded, and taken to the
station. Captain McDonald received sorious wounds
on the leg. The fight was renewed on the cats, and
one rioter who attempted to f-tab nn officer with a
bayonet was arrested.

THE FEDERAL CAPITAL.
The South Carolina Ku-Klux and the .\ttor-

Washington, July 24, 1873.
A delegation of prominent officials from South Car
olina, consisting of Hon. W. D. Forter, General J. B.
Kershaw, 11. M. Sims and S. A. Durham, accompanied
by Assistant Secretary Sawyer, of the Treasury,
waited upon Attorney General Williams this after
noon. in a body, requesting that all the proceedings
in that State in reference to the outrages of the ku-
klux klan be suspended, and urging the pardon of
those already confined in the Albany penitentiary.
They represent that as an organization tko klan baa
ceased to exist in the 8tate, and that a lenient policy
on the part of the government will tend to restore
peace and order. Attorney General Williams informed
them that it wm the policy of the government to
prosecute only agzravated cases, orders having al
ready been given to that effect; and that as
soon as the President was fully satisfied that peaceable
citizens would be protected in their property and life,
a general suspension of prosecution would be desira
ble. He also informed the delegation that many Ku-
Klux prisoners had been pardoned, and pardons
would be issued to tbo others, the most aggravated
cases being detained till tbe last.
The delegation were much pleased with the encour
agement given by the Attorney General. The delega
tion will visit Long Branch, and have an interview
with President Grant.
Washington, July 24, 1873.
The ratificatiou of the treaty for the extension of
duration of the Joint Commission for the settl< ment
of claims between the United States and Mexico, have
been exchanged. The new Mexican Commissioner
has arrived here, and Mr. Wadsworth, the American
Commissioner, has been telegraphed by the Secretary
of 8tate to return to Washington. The business of
the Commission will therefore soon be resumed.
a Suicide.
from the Milwaukee Sentinel, July Id.
The Genangs-Seclion of the Freie Geminde
had a pic-nic at Swain’s Farm yesterday. A
young lady of the party strayed away from
her associates into the premises known as
Kirby’s Farm. In retracing her course Bbe
found it necessary to clamber a fence. This
she achieved without difficulty, but was hor
rified to find that she had stepped upon the
corpse of an old man. A sharp, piercing
scream brought some of the party to the
place aad the care of the young lady, who had
swooned at the horrible sight.
The remains were those of an old man, and
were in a state of decomposition. The de
ceased had severed a jugular vein with a
razor, found beside him, and, as if he had
changed his mind, had tied a handkerchief
above the wonnd in the arm, to stop the flow
of blood. The party sent word to the police
station fay Expressman Bradfeldt, and tho au
thorities immediately dispatched a wagon and
had the remains bronght to the morgue.
The only disappearance recorded at the
station was that of Gottfried Leibers, and as
the clothing of the missing man correspond
with that of the suicide, the family were sum
moned to view the remains. The body was
readily identified aa that of Leibers, and it
will this forenoon be surrendered to the fam
ily, as tbs evidence of suicide is so conclusive
that an inquest will not be neces ary.
Leibers had been a resident of this city for
a number of years, and was about 65 yoara of
age. The infirmities of age often subjected
him to gloomy periods of dejection, and in
one of these moods he wandered from home
and ended his existence. He had been, miss

A correspondent of tbe Times of India,
writing from Akola, June 1st, says: “There
was a very sad occurrence a few days back.
The patei of a village, well known as a tiger
shikaree, was aroused late at night by a tu
mult in his cattle shed, and peeping through
the crevices of a door, discovered master
Stripes coolly walking off with a calf. The
patei took up his gun and fired, wounding the
tiger, who immediately dropped his prey and
fled. The next day the patei, accompanied
by his two brothers and a pardhi—the two
first armed with a gun and sword, and the re
maining three with swords only—went in
search of the animal, who was easily followed,
owing to tbe bloodstains on his track, the
tiger was first Been by tbe patei lying ap
parently helpless under a bush, when
he incautiotuly rested his gun against
the trunk of a tree, and approaching the
tiger, pricked him with the point of his
sword. On this he suddenly sprang up with
a roar and struck the patei senseless. The
two brothers then bravely attacked the tiger
with their swords, but were both disposed of
in the same manner. By this time tbe pardhi
came np, and swathing his left arm in his
dhotee, thrust it into the tiger’s mouth, and
E roceeded to hack him with his sword; but
y this time the tiger was quite spent and
quietly fell back dead. By evening all three
brothers died from the injuries received, leav
ing their families almost wholly unprovided
for. Within tho last two or three months no
fewer than six or eight children are ascer
tained to fcave been destroyed by wolves.
These animals are getting so bold that in day
light, and within sight of their mothers, they
come and carry their infants away.”

Carolina. He says he hopes the suit of
the tax-payers to havo seven million of conversion
bonds declared void will succeed, and will give the
movement whatever aid he can. He claims, also, to
be the originator of the suit, inasmuch as it is founded
almost wholly on the facts published by him last year,
showing that at least six million dollsra’ worth of
conversion bonds were issued without any authority
of law. In explanation for the present empti
>f the State Treasury, Cardoza said tbe
appropriations for tbe year were $2,500,000, and the
receipts of the year only $1,600,000; so the next fiscal
year will begin With a deficit of at least $750,000.

THE CROPS.
Reports from Florida, Alabama, Georgia and
South Carolina.
Augusta. Ga., July 24, 1873.
The latest reports from Florida state that the crops
arc generally two weeks behind last season. Three
weeks ago the heavy rains throughout the State caused
the grass to spring np, but the planters were
coming it, when the rain begain again last week, doing
great damage. Caterpillars have made their ap,
pearance throughout Middle and West Florida,
but as yet has done little barm. The next two weeks
will determine the extent of the injury from this
source
Experiments made with Paris green as a destroyer
proved highly successful.
The corn crop is reported good in Alabama. Cotton
is looking better than it did four or five weeks ago,
and if tbe worm does not interfere the crop will be
larger than last year. Worms have made their appear
ance much earlier than usual, and are reported on ev
ery plantation. They have done little damage, and the
mischief if any, will come from the third crop of
worms, which is expected three weeks hence. The
cotton crop is three weeks later than last year, and the
indications are that the yield will not be ao great
The corn crop is bad on low lands, in consequence of
early heavy rains, which drowned out tbe grains. Up
lands will produce an average crop.
In Georgia the cotton reports are conflicting-
Southwest Georgia gives an indication of good crops:
weeds small, bnt healthy, and well suited. The crops
are about as early in this section as last yesr. The
Middle and Eastern Georgia crops are a good deal
later, but are much better tbau some time since, and
an average yield may be expected. Parts of Eastern
Georgia have suffered severely from drought, but no
general damage has been sustained. For tbe past
few days heavy rains have been general through
out the State, and still seem to prevail,
whlcn may improve crops, though it is now impossi
ble to say to what extent. The caterpillar scare is
about over, and no serious damage is expected from
this quarter. The corn crop is generally reported
fine, and othor cereals turned out well. A good deal
of cotton average baa been abandoned on account of
the grass, but few reports are reported from South
Carolina. Heavy and contlnuod rains In the early
summer caused the abandonment of cotton lands,
though not to any considerable eztent. Tne crops are
backward bore as in Alabama, but tbe latt r accounts
are more encoursging, and an average crop will per
haps be made.
The evidence goes to show that the captain
the steamer City of Washington, wrecked
no great distance from the point whore the
steamer Atlantic foundered, was grossly, if
not criminaly cstelees. He had taken no
■•shoaiag fw seven days, and Uffveh on
through fog and darkness, with no positive
assurance of his bearing, and not knowing
when the ship struck, where she was.

World says that two-thirds of the Boston del
