Blakely Observer: On last Friday morning
B. A. Merritt, who lives near Jakin, in this
county, became involved in a serious diffi
culty with his brother-in-law. J. C. Reynolds.
It appears that Mr. Reynolds has several
times manreated his wife and mother-in-law,
Who are the sister and mother of Mr. Merritt.
I who protested without avail at the treatment,
I but from time to time the troubles would be
• patched up and things would go along
V smoothly for awhile. Friday, Reynolds went
’ over to Merritt s, and. from what we can
gather, assaulted him. Mr. Merritt was sick
ft the time, and in the wlpd-up. he emptied
/ the contents of a gun loaded with bird-shot,
in the face and arm of Reynolds, disabling
him. Mr. Merritt came in and got warrants
for Reynolds. He was tried in the county
court for beating his mother-ln law and fined
sf.O and costs or ten months, and put under a
s3*:o peace bond. There are yet several
charges against him. Reynolds is still in
jail where he was placed or. last Saturday by
Sheriff Black.
■: Master Sims Bell, the 12-year-qJd son of
Mayor Bell, of Waynesboro, was struck on
the head by a falling piece of water pipe
■ Friday and perhaps fatally injured. The
M water tank erected in the rear of the mayor's
restf lonee had become unsafe, and workmen
M began to demolish it for the purpose of erect
■ ing a new one. The tower is about forty feet
■ in bight. In some unaccountable way. a
■ piece of iron piping about two feet long" was
M thrown, or fell, from the top of the tower. It
■ descended straight downward and struck
the iittle fellow. who was playing
■ near, directly on the summit of
■ the head, in fileting a frightful
■ Round. The skull was badly fractured and
■ shattered, and a depression fully one inch in
■ diameter was made in his head. The hoy
■ was picked up and carried into the house, and
M several physicians spent the afternoon en
M deavorlng to relieve him as much as possible.
M The wound is a very dangerous one. and it, is
V a miracle that he was not instantly killed.
■ The result of the accident cannot yet be told,
J but the chances for his recovery are thought
■ to be very slight. ♦
■ There Is a movement on foot by citizens of
■ Sandersville to construct an electric line from
■ Sandersville to Tennille. Col. J. N. Gilmore,
I Os Sandersville, who has been in Augusta for
■ the post few days, has been in consultation
■ With Col. D. B. Dyer in regard to the con-
■ Htraotion of electric lines. Col, Gilmore
■ seems to be Impressed with the idea that an
■ electrb: line is the test solution of the
troul.lCM of his city. The distance from San-
- ddrßVb’e to Tenunle. where ttie Central rail
road reaches, is but throe and a half miles.
The country is level and the right of wav is
easily obtained. Not so long ago, Sanders
ville was the owner of a big block of stock, if
not of the controlling interest iu. the railroad
that funs from that town to Tennille.
This little road was finally sold to the
Aurfusta Southern road. Tt is claimed
that after it had gdtten control of the ran
dersvilleand Tennille, the Augusta Southern
did notjhow to Sandersville t he favors which
the people there thought should be shown
, (heir town. It was then that Sandersville
made up its mind that the i est interests of
the place suggested the building of a new
railroad to Tennille that would come into
competition with the Augusto Southern. The
matter went to the courts, where it still
hangs. Sandersville wanted to subscribe a
round sum of money to aid in the construc
tion of the new road, and had arranged to do
so, when citizens there secured an injunction
•xainstthe city preventing tt from making
such a subscription on the ground that the
money on buna was otherwise appropriated.
The proceedings are no w pending. 'I he elec
tric line is now looked upon by some as the
best solution of the trouble, or fancied
trouble, in which the town finds itself in
volved.

A romantic affair culminated in a very busi-
I ness like transaction in Judge Westmore
land's court room at Atlanta Tuesday, when
J. S. Wheeler paid to the clerk of the court
, SSO and costs m preference to going to jail for
I four months on account of carrying concealed
I weapons. The testimoy developed a most in-
I teresting story, of which the trial was the
conclusion. It seams that Wheeler was out
walking with a young lady, strolling near the
water works, while walking slowly along
m the pleasant company of the young lady,
Wheeler became aware that some one was
walking behind him. On looking tack he saw
two men, and as be continued to walk slowly
along the two men remained about the same
distance away, apparently suiting their steps
to those of the young lady and her
escort. To Wheeler it appared that they were
following him. and he began to get angry.
Just as he was determined to request them
to cease dogging his footsteps, it began to
rain violently, and the young lady and
Wheeler sought refuge under the protecting
branches of a leaf-covered oak. Hardly had
they stopped vpder, this tree, whose spread
ing limoS are a matter of record and jxietry.
when the young men suddenly decided that
the rain was too much for them and they, too,
sought the near by protection of a tree ot
similar qualities. This action angered
Wheeler still more; drawing his pistol he
walked over to them and ordered them to
move on, telling them that he would do some
quick shooting if his request was not carried
out to the letter. Both men left, but swift
vengeance was theirs and Wheeler was ar
rested on the charge of carrying concealed
weapons. He pleaded guilty and was fined as
mentioned.
The circumstances surrounding the acci
dental death of Robert L. Anderson, the
brother of Judge James A. Anderson, of
Atlanta, were very unusual. His wife's lov
ing hand discharged the pistol which caused
his death. Mr. Anderson was a man full ot
life and activity. He was on the police force
of Waco, Tex., and was one of the most
efficient officers in the service. He was forty
four years old. and had a large number of
friends in Atlanta. Mr. Anderson lived in a
neighborhood called College Heights, near
the corporate limits of Waco. He hnd
arranged to . carry his wife with
; him into the city Monday morn
ing, and when they were jvfst
ready to step into the buggy , she noticed
that the skirt of his coat was covered with
gray hairs, as he kept and rode a grav horse
as a mounted policeman. She started, to
brush the skirt of his coat with a clothes
brush, and struck the hammer of the pistol
he was carrying in his hip pocket. The pistol
was discharged and the ball entered the back
of the .dft thigh perhaps six inches above the
knee joint, and ranged downward through
the knee joint into the ankle. However,
nothing was visible except the point of en
trance. and the wound was considered
a flesh wound until Wednesday,
when mortification developed, the skin
of the ankle, fdot and lower leg be
coming discolored. The physicians advised
amputation, but were candid enough to tell
him that he would probability die while un
der the influence of chloroform on account of
heart trouble which he had. Considering
that he was bound to die with or without
ampu.ation he at first refused to consent to
the operation, which was postponed until
Thursday last, when he gave' his consent.
To the surprise ot the phislclans he recovered
from the chloroform given him and the
shock ot the operation, but he died the fol
lowing day. He was buried at Atlanta
Tuesday.
Athens Banner: Chancellor Boggs vs
Chief Oliver. That is the way it reads'at city
headquarters. The preferring of charges by
Chancellor Boggs against Chief Oliver for
neglect of duty brings before the public an
interesting story. The charges are not made
In written form, but have been made to the
mayor and other members of the council, and
will be investigated, chief Oliver in an inter
view says that last Wednesday afternoon
Chancellor Boggs came to him in regard to
some disorder on t|ie cariwus the night
before. It appears that tnree young men
who had been In college previously hhd gone
to the chancellor’s residence Tuesday
night in a hilarious condition. Dr. Boggs
said that they came Into his yard and shouted,
•‘William, we’ve be«n with you four years;
come out and take a drink with us." It was
for tlie appichcpsipn pf these boys that the v
chancellor Went to’the chief. Chief Oliver
tocfk tbe names of twdA-lz: Messrs. Barfield
and Harris, as given him by the chancellor,
and detailed his men to look after them and
apprehend them. Tbut night Chancellor
Boggs went to Chief Oliver, who was at
prayermeeting, and told him the boys were
at the hotel. They proceeded to the hotel
and the chancellor went in and didn’t find
them. The next day the chancellor went to
the chief and said to him: - I told you those
boys were at the hotel; what has been done
about It?" Chief Oliver replied: "I told you I
didn’t know them and that when I could find
them they would be arrested." That endea
the matter there, and now the chancellor has
preferred charges against the chief for neg
lect of duty. Chief Oliver tays he has done
his full duty and demands a full investigation
of the affair. Chancellor Boggs says the be
havior of the three young men was outrage
ous. and that after his reporting the names to
the chief of two of them he did not think the
chief had exercised due care to have them
apprehended and brought to justice. He was
not indignant, but thought he had not been
afforded the protection he deserved at the
hands of the officers of the law.

C. J. F. Campbell, a $lO racket; second, James
T. Hogg, a $5 racket.
For the third time in four years Fort
Meade has been hard hit by fire. Thursday
morning at 3 o’clock Carter. Evans & Co.’s
store was discovered to be on fire. After the
alarm was given people reached the store
quickly, and some of the goods were sax ed.
but the flames had made too great headway
to do much. It was seen that the whole side
of the street was doomed, and all efforts were
turned toward getting goods from other
builflings. J. M. Stars Held A Co.’s drug store
caught in a Short time, and the market build
ing caught nett, followed by Wise Perry's
large twb-story pool and billiard saloon. AU
goods In buildings across the street were
moved out, as it seemed impossible to save
them, but by herculean efforts the tire was
kept from getting a start on the other side,
though the bank building and the Fort Meade
Pebble's office caught five times. The tire
was Anally controlled, but not before four of
the best business houses and five firms were
burned out. 'the total loss is about $9,603; in
surance. $9,500. It is not known how the fire
originated. Some people think that it was
incendiary, others that rats started it. The
buildings will probably be rebuilt at once.
TURNER’S _SILVER TONGUE.
The Judge Opens His Senatorial Cam
paign.
A Large Audience Greets Him With
a Flattering Burst of Applause—He
Declares Himself a Bimetallist at
the Ratio of 20 to I—He Defends
His Vote in Favor of Repeal of the
Purchasing Clause of the Sherman
Act.
Atlanta, Ga., June 30.—Hon Henry G.
Turner practically opened his campaign
for the United States Senate in a speech
here to-night. His candidacy has been
announced for some time, but this is the
first speech Judge Turned has delivered
in Georgia since he entered the contest.
The others in the race are Senator Pat
rick Walsh, who was appointed to suc
ceed the late Senator Alfred H. Colquitt;
A. O. Bacon and Louis F. Garrard.
Speaker Crisp may also enter the race.
Judge Turner had quite a large audi
ence at DeGives Opera House. He was
introduced by Hon. N. E, Hammond.
Judge Turner was received with flatter
ing applause. In his speech he declared
himself a bimetallist at the ratio of 20 to
1. He declared for the repeal of the 10
per cent. |ax on state banks, and for tariff
reform.
His theme was the capacity of the Dem
ocratic party to do business.
ON THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
On the financial question he spoke as
follows;
What abput silver? In , 189? the repre
sentative men of the country voicing
the desires of both sections, met to
gether for the purpose of reconciliation,
and the result was the democratic plat
form on which we marched to victory. A
number of my colleagues in the House took
the position that the parity and inter
changeable value of gold and silver
could be secured by the free coinage
of silver in the ratio of 16 to I and so voted iu
the special session. I did not believe that
such a parity could be restored on the basis
of that ratio, and I furthermore celieve that
instead of checking the coinage of silver, the
people desired to have more silver put into
the coin.
I voted for a ratio of 20 to 1, not that I was
satisfied with such a ratio as a permanent
thing, but only as a beginning. 1 have seen it
charged m the newspapers and have heard it
proclaimed from the platform, that by re
pealing the purchasing clause of Sherman
act. we had struck down half the money
metal of the world.
■ W«T n WA* WWFEALKP.
The charge is ridiculous and absurd. We
repealed the purchase clause because of the
panic which it brought unon this country;•
the greatest, perhaps, ever known in its
history. We divided as to the coinage of
silver, but where is the man who can furnish
the true basis of agreement on which the
whole country, with its diversified interests,
can be united?
"The free coinage of silver shouted a
man in the audience. (Great Applause]. 1
“On what ratio?” inquired Mr. Turner.
“Sixteen to one,” replied the unknown
speaker. [He was again applauded
heatily.J
The judge resumed:
“That will never do, my friend. It would
be folly to adopt such a ratio. You may as
well cut the yard sticks of the country in two
as to adopt such a ratio in the hope of se
curing a parity. Would it be fair to all con
cerned for a man who owns a mine to go to
the government and convert his silver into
double its intrinsic value and put the pro
ceeds in his pocket? And vet subh Would be
the result if an insignificant ratio of this kind
was adopted.
The Democratic party of this country is a
bimetallist party. Mr. Bland, who started, the
silver question, has just reported a plank in
his own state tor a readjustment.
The platform of the state of Geor
gia also contemplates a readjustment in the
hope of a restoration of parity.
It is difficult to agree on a ratio because it is
not a local but a universal question in which
the entire civilized world is interested. Gold
is not a sufficient basis, and the demand for
silver is steadily Increasing.
Mr. Turner held the attention of his
audience very closely throughout his
speech.

- A DULL HALF SESSION.
Very Little Business Done in Any of
the Markets.
Cotton Futures Still Declining—Little
Business in the Leading Grain Mar
kets—Stocks and Bonds Quiet and
Inactive—The Local Markets Quiet
and Dull—The Resume of the Day’s
Transactions.
Savannah, June 30.—The month epded with
a very dull day in both the local and foreign
markets. There was very little doing In
naval stores and cotton, while the half holi
day detracted from the general wholesale
trade. The markets by telegraph show that
there was a lack of activity throughout the
country during the Saturday’s half session.
The following resume of the general mar
kets will show the tone and the quotations
for the day: ,
Cotton. '
The usual dullness of Saturday prevailed
in the local spot market to-day. There was
only a slight demand. The market at the
Cotton Exchange was bulletined quiet and
unchanged, with sales of 88 bales. The fol

New York, June 50.—The Sun says of the
cotton market: yCotton declined 2 to 3 points
and then recovered most of this and closed
quiet and steady, bales 27.000 bales. Liver
pool declined to 2 points and closed quiet;
spot sales 7,000 bales at unchanged prices,
clos.ng quiet Today’s features:
It was not much of a decline.
In spite of a fall 1n Liverpool
and generally favorable crop reports. There
was no great presstfte to sell, and prices
steadied up. It was a very uninteresting mar
ket. More rain is needed in parts of Tennes
see, Arkansas and Mississippi, ihe tempera
ture has arisen to very high figures all over
the cotton belt, and the precipitation is every
where light, though it will pe rememoered
that at times during the last week the rain
fall in some sections of the Atlantic states
has been heavy.”
New York. June 30.—Riordan & Co., in their
weekly review ot cotton, sav: ,‘The condi
tions have seemed terribly against cotton
this week, but the decline so far has been less
than was generally anticipated. Liverpool
again sent us a bad report this 'noruing, and
our opening was at 3 points below yester
day s closing. August selling at 7.02 c: but the
market showed the same stubborn resistance
which has teen its main feature for the last
fortnight, and closed quiet and steady, with
7.04 c bid for August, lhere is at the mo
ment a marked absence of speculation, either
for a rise or for a fail. Recent developments
have led he room traders to array themselves
generally on the short side, and they would
rather be on a decline to secure their profits,
than assume further risk by increasing their
sales: and so in the prevailing stagnation,
values are fairly well maintained, meantime
the bearish influences upon the market are
v.ndeuia: ly growing stronger, day by day.
Ihe crop accounts are so good that unless
there should ce a decided change for the
worse, the yield seems to be the largest on
record. trade in this country still lan
guishes. and the American spinners buy their
supplies only from hand to mouth,
while abroad the slack demand and the
large stocks combine to depress prices.
Manchester reports that her import trade
with India has seldom been in so unsatislac-
tory a condition. Against these facts, the
bulls can only urge that the critical period
for the crop, the six weeks following the
middle of July, is yet to come, which is very
true, and that a great revival of trade will
follow close on the heels of the tariff settle
ment, which is certain. It seems to us, how
ever. that all the chances are that a big crop
will speedily be added to a surplus supply of
uncomfortable magnitude and that even the
present low prices cannot be sustained.
Drought scares, and the covering of shorts
may give us occasional rallies, but upon all
such rallies we favor salek.”

Carnot’s Slayer Wild With Joy When
He Was Selected.
Paris. June 30.—A dispatch from Mar
seilles this morning announces that a sol
dier detained in the military prison at
that place, upon hearing of the assassina
tion of the president gave the authorities
full details concerning the plot which
was hatched at Cette, and also furnished
the names of seven anarchists
who, after the executions of Vaii
lant and Henry, drew* lots to decide
which of them was to kill Carnot. The
lot fell to Santo Cesario, which now
seems to be the real name of the assassin,
the mistake in the inversion of his name
resulting from the Italian custom of writ
ing the family name first. Cesario is
described as having been “wild with joy’’
when he found that he had been selected,
to commit the murder.
Throughout the city and all over France
preparations are about completed for the
funeral to-morrow of President Carnot.
It would seem thaj the people have de
termined to make the funeral a demon
stration against anarchy, as well as
a tribute of deep respect to the dead
chief magistrate. This demonstration,
however, is entirely calm : it shows that
France really mourns liter loss and is
deeply incensed at the outrage upon the
part of the anarchists.
Premier Dupuy will retain all of his
present colleagues in the ministry, aud
there will consequently be no ministerial
declaration upon the reassembling of the
chambers on Tuesday.
President Casimir-Perier has sent a
floral crown to the palace of the Elyses
to be placed on the coffin of M. Carnot.
The crown is of red roses, with palm
leaves acrosss the base and draped with
crepe. It is six feet in circumference.
A military attache of Queen Victoria’s
household has arrived here with wreaths
sent by the queen and the Prince of
Wales.
ITALY AFTER THE ANARCHISTS.
Rome, June 30.—A most animated antf
anarchist campaign has been inaugurated
by the police In Italy, and, as a result,
many letters of a menacing character
have been addressed to King Humbert,
Premier Crispi and other prominent per
sons. The state of siege in Sicily has
been prolonged indefinitely.
BOTH LEGS BROKEN.
A General Passenger Agent Hurt in
a Bear-end Collision-
Washington, June 30.—The Chesapeake
and Ohio train, which left here at 2:25
this afternoon, over the Richmond and
Danville road for St. Louis, Mo., at 4:45
o’clock ran into the rear end of a freight
train which was on a siding and over
lapped the main track of the road at
Rapidan. Va.. sixty miles from this city.
Harry W. Fuller, the general passenger
agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio, had
both legs broken above the ankles and
his left arm and face bruised. Mr.
Fuller, when he saw that a wreck was
inevitable, jumped from the moving train,
and it is reported that he was the only
person on the passenger train injured. A
tramp on the freight was also hurt. The
damage is stated to be confined to the
railroad tracks. After a delay of four
hours traffic was resumed. Mr. Fuller
was brought here at 9:10 o’clock to-night
on a special train from Rapidan.
Frantic With Grief Over His Mistake
the Man Attempts Suicide.
Washington, June 30.—Mrs. L. E. Gan
non, wife of the director of the choir of
St. Matthews church, where the services
in memory of ex-President Carnot are to
be held this morning, died from an over
dose of laudanum, administered by mis
take by her brother-in-law. Learning
the result of his mistake he became fran
tic, and attempted his own life, and was
carried to Providence hospital for treat
ment.
