Sparta Ishmaelite: Jim Harris, a Glass cock negro, charged with house-burning and horse-stealing, is in jail in this county. He h was in jail m Gibson for burning Tom • Brown s house. He managed to escape, how " ever, hnd t stealing a horse near Agricola, he rode to Culver ton. There he turned the horse loose. Bob Hill, always alert, got wind of the Mair. He found that the fugi tive had made inquiries around Culverton as to the whereabouts of a negro living on Sim Roger s place. Suspecting that Harris could be found there, fcob came to town, informed Sheriff Pinkston of the facts, and on Wednes day night they went to the house on Koger’s mace. Sure enough. Harris was there, and the capture was effected. 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. Lexington Echo: Ike Davenport, a negro living near the Glade, met with a tragic death baturdajfnight last. He was a thrifty indus trious man and owned a prettv good planta tion, upon which there were two settlements, one of these he and his family occupied.

B Thomaston Times: A negro boy. living iu jIB the southeastern suburb of town, came near ■ losing bis Ute under peculiar circumstances B one day last week, he was drawing water B from a well, ai-out twenty feet deep, when in B kMbning too far over Um frame, ho lost his I balance and fell headforemost int o the well. His mother made several attempts to draw , him out but failed, owing to the breaking ot I the rope. Finally she sent for James S. Per due, who lives not far away. By going down into the well and looping a rope around the boy’s body Mr. Perdue, with the assistance of Messrs. Birdsong and Wat son, who happened to be passing by, drew the boy out just In time to save him, as he was completely exhausted and unable to stand when,taken out. 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. lAghtning struck a tree in Mrs. T. Y. Mar tins yard at iawaon, Sunday afternoon, and shocked several boys who were sitting on the porch. A cow was knocked down, out soon recovered.

Its last order is from the Sandwich Islands and Is for 5.000 tons. An awful thunder and rain storm visited Arcadia Friday afternoon, and lasted about an hour. A man named John Driggers stood under a tree in Capt. W. W. Clark s yard to shelter him from the storm, and the light ning struck the tree, tearing it all to pieces and striking Driggers, burning his arms, side and back very badly. Drs. C. H. Smith and B. B. Blount.dressed the wounded man and left him resting as easily as could be ex pected. He will recover. Thursday afternoon Orlando was visited by a heavy thunder shower, and in a few min utes the streets were flooded. During the worst of the downpour the residence of Judge J. L. Bryan was struck by lightning. At the I time the judgh was at his office, and his wife and family were at home alone. One corner of the roof and the casing of a window ware torn up, but no on«» was injured, though they were badly frightened.

Winston.” Pensacola News; People along Palafox street were greatly amused between 6 and 7 o'clock yesterday evening at the sight of P. L ndenstruth, the well known jeweler, taking a ride on a wheelbarrow at the expense of Henry Beirne. the plumber. On the day be- ■ fore the primary election Mr. Beirne became so impressed (from reading the Argusi with the idea that Col. Chipley would be “snowed under” at the polls that he proposed to Mr. Llndenstruth to ride him in a wheel! arrow up and down Palafox street if Col Chipley was nominated. Os course. Mr. Lindenstruth was to do likewise for Mr. Beirne in the event of Mayor Anderson's election. Mr. Beirne accepted the result with the best grace pos sible, and. with his wheelbarrow, appeared at Mr. Llndenstruth’s stqre at 6 o'clock yester day evening. Mr. Llndenstruth procured a flag and mounted a box on the wheelbarrow. The evening. was warm and the task was one that made the loser of lhe tet perspire freely, but he stood manfully by his con tract and performed the task amid the smiles and plaudits of the lookers on. Some say that Tampa will furnish the next congressman from that district in the person ot HoS. M. sparkman, chairman of the state democratic executive committee. Politics is now warming up at White Springs, and in a few weeks will reach fever heat. Frank Adams, Esq., ot Jasper, seems to be the coming man for the Senate, and VV. W.

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. SKIN CANCER CURED.

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.

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.” Rice. The market is quiet and steady at un changed quotations.

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.
