Christopher J. Wilcox, of Macon,
rcr of the Macon and Brunswick
ul, has invented and patented an im-
».iw, which the Telegraph and Mes-
thinks will create a revolution in the
nical world. It is thus described:
new principle on which the patent
.1 consists in so arranging: the teeth of
iw that it acts not only as a saw, but
is a plane, and the wood on leaving it is
dressed condition, as if it had passed
gh a planing machine, or been dressed
:i plane in the hands of an experienced
liter. The saw is arranged with sets of
. three in a set, with what is known as
anng tooth in front and two cutting
in tlic rear, one beveled on the one side
he other on the opposite side, and in

An infant child of Mr. W. S. Scott, of
Milledgeville, swallowed the whole contents
of a vial of cough mediciae on Thursday
last. Medical attention was summoned and
with difficulty the child’s life was saved.
A careless nurse had left the mixture in the
child’s crib.
Mr. Oliver Peacock, who lives a few miles
from Columbus iu Alabama,brought a negro
woman into that city on Friday to have her
mouth closed. Her jaws were thrown out
of joint by her gaping, and she was unable
to close her mouth. It required two physi
cians and a negro man to reset “the jaw” of
that woman. Says the Enquirer-Sun most
ungallantly: “It would require more force
than this to mauage the jaws of some
women. Moral—Keep your mouths closed.”
General Charles W. Field, lately nomi
nated for the Doorkeepership of the House
<>f Representatives at Washington, resided
in Columbus many months Just preceding
his departure for E^ypt, which country he
left last year. He was an insurance agent
in Columbus, and was exceedingly popular.
During the war he rose to the rank of Major
General, and was badly wounded around
Petersburg. Beuning’s brigade was in his
division. His nomination is equivalent to
an election.

bitterness, but they seem to be firm in their

and say they will stick to their resolution
and to each other.”
At the union meeting for the western
division of the Mercer Baptist Association,
held with New Hope Church, Thomas
county, Georgia, March 29th, 1878, the fol
lowing resolutions were passed :
“Ifcsolved, That while this union meeting
heartily approves of the legitimate objects
of the South Georgia Agricultural and
Mechanical Association, and as citizens are
w illing to co-operate aud encourage it, yet
we regard the allowance of the wheel of
fortune and similar gambling devices on
the fair grounds as a great moral evil that
ought to be condemned by all Christians as
injurious to the youth of our land, and
therefore request the board of directors to
exclude them.
“/fewbtv/, That the clerk of this union
meeting furnish a copy of this resolution to
the President of the Board of the Fair As

Statistics show that Harris county has
2,252 polls, of which 1,104 are w hite aud
1,148 arc colored, and 72 are defaulters.
Among them are 9 lawyers, 15 doctors, 1
dentist and 3,165 hands employed between
twelve and sixty-five years of age. In real
estate there is 290,880 acres of improved
land, valued at 81,053,581, aud 7,950 acres of
wild land valued at 82,618, and town prop
erty to the amount of 827,979. In money
and solvent debts the county is worth
8108,856, in merchandise, 822,515, in cotton
manufactories 877,000, iu household and
kitchen furniture 882,331, aud w* itches, silver
plate and jewelry 88,7144. In the way of stock,
such as horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep,
etc., it is worth 8215.680. and in plantation
and mechanical tools 815,348, besides 845,789
of other property, and 80,300 by defaulters.
The aggregate value of the whole property
is $1,745,100. The total amount of tax paid
the State on property, at fifty cents on
the $100, with the professional and poll tax
added, after deducting the defaulters, is
811,183 90. For collecting this tax the Iie-
j ceiver’s total commissions are $391 43, and
the Collector’s commissions are the same,
which is three and a half per cent, on the
net amount.

On last Saturday week the employes of
the Atlanta rolling mill struek work, and
the strike still continues. The trouble seems
to be the difficulty of being promptly paid,
ani that when paid, being forced to re-
Ct *ive cheeks which must be traded out at
the rolling mill store. Wages for Decem
ber, January, February and March are due,
and we learn from the Constitution that the
fallowing are the demands of the strikers:
“First, that every cent of wages past due
*hall be paid, except the wages for March.
They are willing to wait until the 15th for
that month. Secondly, that after this month
they shall be paid in lull the first of every
month for the labor of the preceding month.
They also demand that they shall receive
eath wages, as they consider this their right.
The men do not complain of the price paid
fur their labor. They are very well paid,
but they demand more regularity and more
cash. They say they will firmly abide by
their decision aiid will not go to work until
their demands are satisfied. They talk
Baldwin county, says: “We can boast of
eight lawyers, eighteen doctors and two
dentists, and one billiard table ; all of whom,
the doctors and lawyers and billiard table,
pay 8295 in the way of special t axes. We pav
81.790 poll tax, and an ad valorem tax of
88,290, for the collection of which our Tax
Collector gets $281 iu the way of commis
sions. We are one of six counties who pay
a very high county tax. Twiggs is assessed
the heaviest county tax, 81 75 on the hun
dred. Baldwin comes next with 81 42; a :
then Laurens, 81 34; Lee, $1 34; Mitchell,
81 20>4, and Clinch and Baker, each, 81.
We vote 746 white polls and 1,003 colored
polls.”
The Darien Timber Gazette says: “Hon.
Julian Hartridge telegraphed us from Wash
ington on Wednesday as follows: “The com
mittee have given me an appropriation for
Darien.’ , We are glad to learn that the
Committee on Commerce have reported
favorably in this matter, aud trust that
something will now be done. But it does
not follow that we will receive any money,
as the bill has yet to pass the House, and
then goes to the Senate, which has a curious
way of striking out small appropriations.
While we believe that we will eventually
receive governmeut aid in this important
work, we are not disposed to be enthusiastic
about it until the bill is passed by both
houses, the money appropriated and opera
tions actually commenced. Our Representa
tive deserves credit for his recent efforts in
our behalf, and shows by his promptness
that he is fully alive to the wants and needs
of his constituents.”
A large eagle, measuring seven feet from
tip to tip, was caught on thd Howell’s Ferry
j road, just beyond Howell’s mills, near At
lanta, last week. The circumstances attend
ing the capture are rather sensational, and
are thus given iu full in the Atlanta Consti
tution: “Late in the afternoon an old negro
by the name of Norton Simmons and Iris
wife were walking along the Howell’s Ferry
road on their way home, Norton having in
his arms a small* negro baby. When they
had arrived near Mr. Carr’ Cox’s’ farm, a
large eagle came down from overhead, and
made a swoop at the child in the arms of its
father. Although completely being taken
by surprise, the father warded off the assault
aimed at Iris child with a well directed blow,
j This only made the bird more furious, and
he returned to the attack with renewed
I vigor. Simmons kicked and fought the bird
j with all his strength and courage, while his
| wife rendered valuable assistance by crying
and whooping for help, which came in the
person of Mr. Carr Cox, who fortunately
was in a field near at home, and ran to the
assistance of the parties calling for help,
carrying in his hand an axe with which he
had been chopping wood. Mr. Cox took in
the situation at a glance, and with a well
directed blow with liis axe laid the savage
bird senseless upon the ground. In the
melee the child was lucky enough not to re
ceive a scratch, but Its father was inflicted
with many slight wounds made by the claws
of the bird. The eagle during its attack
tore the entire upper of a brogan shoe from
the foot of Simmons with his beak, having
t*ken hold of his foot while being kicked at
hv the plucky negro. Upon investigation
it* was found that the bird was only stunned
or disabled. He was then taken to the bam
of Mr. Cox's plantation, where he now re-
: mains in captivity, having recovered almost
entirely from the rough, but timely blow of
the axe. Since the capture his majesty has
received quite a large number of visitors.”
The LaGrange pupils, male and female,
took a verv practical way of celebrating
April fool’s day. The Bejiorter says- “The
pupils uf the LaGrange Female College
plaved a premeditated ‘April fool on .the
teachers Monday. They planned before
hand an all-day picnic on ‘blue John creek,
and successfully carried it out. They had
♦he forethought to take with them some
i m-i 4r G ns *° £‘ ve dignity to the frolic, and
i ‘bat thev hail a day of fine enjoyment.
The bovs ’the High school, also, were

servances of the first of April are harmless
and of course there was no penalty visited
on the offenders (?) in either ease.'
The following cure for blind stagers.
I from which the horses in certain sections o*
i tlie State have greatly suffered of late, is
i given: “Take three tablespounsful of James
town w’ced seed, put them in a half pint of
I clearwater, and boil them until you make a
strong tea. Strain the tea that you may get
all the seed out. Mix with this tea one
! ounce of spirits of nitre, one ounce of pare-
! gorie (or three pods of garlic will answer).
This compound forms a liniment, of which
take one tablespoonful, and pour In each
ear. Let the horse rest about fifteen min
utes. then take a half pint of assaso?tida
tea, one ounce of hartshorn and one table
spoonful of ground mustard. This you may
squirt up each nostril, until he begins to
snort freely, and then you may stop, as the
water collected around the brain will run
out at the ears and nose.’’

London, April 6.—The 7W publishes the
following in semi-official form: “No doubt
our government, while determined to vindi
cate every line of Lord Salisbury’s dispatch,
is not unwilling to take into consideration
the views suggested by Vienna statesmen.
To-day the prospect is more peaceful, but
the government should guard against a sur
prise at Constantinople, and Mr. Layard
ought to be empowered to assure the Forte
of England’s support against any sudden
advance of the Russians.”
The Standard publishes the following in a
similar form: “ We understand the present
intention is to keep the channel squadron
near Malta available for the transport of
troops therefrom. Every arrangement has
been made so that three or four thousand
troops could be embarked in a few hours.
It is understood that the front of the op
position bench iu the House of Commous
will not propose any amendment on Monday
to the address to the Queen in answer to the
proclamation calling out the reserves. Sir
Wilfred Lawson, in behalf of the Radicals,
however, has resolved to offer a motion de
claring the measure unwarranted aud im
prudent ”
Tlie Times' St. Petersburg dispatch, dated
yesterday evening, says: "Lord Salisbury's
circular was communicated to Prince
Gortsehakoff this morning. It is said in
official circles that many of the British ob
jections might have been removed in the
Congress, but now tlie doors are closed
against concessions. It is difficult therefore
to imagine any pacific solution. The most
plausible proposal perhaps is that the Con
gress should be called to consider the modi
fications necessary in the treaties of 1856 and
1871. Little faith, however, is placed in
such ingenious proposals. The majority of
the official world and of the public regard
war as inevitable and show no disposition to
shrink from the grave consequences of a
long struggle, which they pretty clearly
foresee.”
A special to the Times from Bucharest
says: ‘ The Russians have renewed their
contracts for supplies and transportation,
which were cancelled after the signature of
the treaty."
A Vienna dispatch to the Daily Aew*states
that Count Andrassy has replied to Lord
Salisbury, declaring he also regards the ac
ceptance of the treaty as impossible, and
asking for specific stipulations from Eng
land.
The Daily Telegraph's Vienna correspon
dent hears* that Prince Gortsehakoff will
make a similar request. Russia is secretly
negotiating for a large loan.
There seems to be some hope of a re
newal of the Congress negotiations, unless a
collision is precipitated by the necessity for
counteracting the military measures which
Russia is pushing forward on both sides of
the Danube. The position at Constantino
ple, both military and political, is regarded
as so doubtful, even threatening, for Eng
land that very slight modifications of the
situation might be considered to warrant ac
tion which would amount to a breach of
neutrality. As long, however, as Vefik
Pasha remains Turkish Premier, a Russo-
Turkish alliance is believed to be out of the
question.
M. Bratr&lo, Roumanian Premier, instead
of returning to Bucharest as was expected
he would do, started from Vienna for Berlin
last night.
In Vienna it is believed the Roumanian
Cabinet’s opposition to Russia is real aud
determined.
The publication of Gortschakoff’s Gbika
interviews has aroused general sympathy for
Roumania throughout Europe. The Rou
manian protest against the treaty of San
Stefano was published in full iu the Vienna
Dil it she Conesjtondeze yesterday, but it is not
yet known to have been officially communi
cated to the powers.
The overtures referred to by this morn
ing’s /W, as suggested by Viennese states
men, are believed to have originated at St.
Petersburg in consequence of a representa
tion from Berlin aud to have taken the shape
of an endeavor to induce England to enter
into specifications of the modifications she is
willing to make in the treaties of 1856 and
1871, so that Russia can judge, after com
paring her own views with those of England
and Austria, whether any common ground
is attainable.
The rumor of General Ignatieff’s speedy
return to Vienna is revived. It is indicated
that at St. Petersburg the hope exists that
Austria is not beyond the reach of separate
arrangement in this respect. The hope of
St. Petersburg is in the belief that
Germany’s chance of avoiding eventu :
ally being drawn into tlie struggle is
said to be, on good authority, based on the
conviction that the Emperor of Austria re
gards a Russian alliance as the safest
he can get, while Count Andrassy
is so averse to decided action that he
will not consent to join England in ad
vance of hostilities, and after England and
Russia are engaged he may safely exact
from the latter his own price for Austrian
neutrality.
The Dali Mall Gazette publishes the fol
lowing:
“Berlin, April 6.—intelligence from St.
Petersburg seems to indicate that the peace
party is acquiring greater influence in the
counsels of the Czar. It is expected here
that the Czar will solicit the good offices of
Emperor William of Germany as a mediator
between himself and England.”
Russia's reply to Lord Salisbury’s circular
will, it is said, lay particular stress upon the
absence of definite counter proposals and
will call upon England to make a counter
proposal. This will be the main point
urged.
The Dill Mall Gazette states it is officially
informed there is no foundation for the
statement printed in this morning's Stand
ard, that the present intention is to keep the
channel squadron near Malta available for
the transportation of troops therefrom.
A special dispatch from Berlin to the Dill
Gazette says: “The question eoneern-
j.wr the position of Roumania is growing
more and more ?mbarrassing. It is sale!
that Austria desires that the authority of
Russia should be limited as much as possible
during the passage of troops through the
principality, and that everything should be
avoided which might give a cnaracter ol
Russian occupation to the temporary pres
ence of the imperial troops.”
The Did Mall Gazette says; “A inoveincnt <
with the object of preventing the Liberal
partv from trammelling the governmeut s
foreign policy has received the support of
one hundred and thirty Liberal members of
Parliament, of whom nearly one-hai.' were
prepared to vote with the governmeut if the
leaders proposed any amendment to the ad
dress to the Queen in answer to the procla
mation calling out the reserves. Almut
seventy members will probably vote for Sir
Wilfred Lawson’s motion declaring the
measure unwarranted and imprudent.’
Vienna, April 6.—The JblUieal Correspon
dence says - it learns from a good source at
Bucharest, that Priuce Charles will reply to
Prince Gortschakoff’s threats of the occupa
tion of Roumania and the disarmament of
the Roumanian army, if the Roumanian
government protests against the articles of
the treaty providing for the communication
of the army in Bulgaria with Russia
through Roumania as follows: ‘Tell Prince

MINCING LANE MARKETS.
London, April 6.—In the Mincing Lane
markets for the past week the alteration in
prices have been unimportant. Saltpetre is
weaker, owing to the cessation of specula
tion. For tea there is more inquiry, chiefly
for common to fair Congou; common espe
cially firm: Indian dearer. Sugar un
changed but steadier, particularly lower
qualities. Plantation Ceylon coffee has re
covered part of the decline last quoted;
other kinds show little alteration: low and
ordinary is generally difficult to sell. A
further rise was paid’for rice, and extended
shipments from Burmah cheeked the de
mand. Black pepper has fallen to a lower
price than since 1867.
The jEconomist says: “War is not consid
ered more imminent than at the close last
week. There has been some rally in the
prices of stocks from various causes. On
Friday evening the recovery was sharp in
consequence of reportethat Russia was more
peacefully inclined, but, on the whole, the
rule shows moderate improvement. There
has been considerable rise in U. S. bonds.

DR. SEYMOUR DECLINES.
New York, April 6.—Rev. Dr. Seymour,
in a letter deelinging the Bishopric of Spring-
field, Illinois, says: “ Those whom 1 have
consulted, and who have a right to speak—
my own Bishop, other Bishops and a ma
jority of the members of the Standing Com
mittee of the General Theological
Seminary—strongly advise me that
the interests of the church at
large will be best promoted by
my remaining where I am. My hesitation
shows how profoundly I am moved by the
claim which Springfield has upon me. It is
an act of stem self-denial for me to say
what I am about to say, that under all the
circumstances 1 have reached the conclu
sion that it is my duty to follow the advice
given to me with such unanimity, aud to
continue to serve God in the humbler sphere
which he has assigned to me.”
THE RAILROAD STRIKE IN KANSAS.
St. Louis, April 6.—The latest news re
garding the strike on the Atchison, Topeka
aud Santa Fe Railroad, is that several en
gines were detached at Emporia, and two
attempts were made night before last to fire
the railroad buildings at Topeka, probably
hv outside persous for the purpose of plun
der. The Sheriff has been on the ground with
a strong posse and guarded the road. A fire
man, who took the plaee of a striker, was
badly beaten^yesterday. There was no other
violence. No freight trains have run
since the strike was inaugurated and the
strikers say thev shall not, even if they have
to use force. They will not interfere with
the passenger trains. The company declare
they will make no concessions to the
strikers, and not oue of the latter shall ever
obtain employment on the road again.
THE RUSSIANS RENEW* THEIR DEMANDS.
London, March 6.—A dispatch frorr. Con
stantinople to the Reuter Telegram Com

Special Correspondence of the Morning Xeirs.
Atlanta, April 6.—The rain has
passed away, and we are now having
pleasant and cool weather.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston is again on a
visit to Major Mims, and is meeting here
a large number of Savannah friends.
General Lawton, Senator Lester, Cap
tains Adams and Saussy, and Messrs.
Colquitt, Smith, Sanders and Harts-
horne, of Savannah, are registered at the
Kimball and Markham.
The Atlanta rolling mill is still keeping
company with the cotton factor}*. The
workmen demand back pay and future
cash payments monthly. The managers
have not the money in hand, and so the
mill remains idle. Each side tells a dif
ferent story.
SAVANNAH TO BE ILLUSTRATED.
The people of Savannah will lie glad
to learn that Mrs. Frank Leslie, the ac
complished wife of the great New Y’ork
publisher, is soon to give the readers of
his Illustrated Xeicspapt’r graphic
sketches of Savannah, St. Augustine,
Nassau and Havana.
Mrs. Leslie is a pleasing and graphic
writer, and will be sure to give the
“Forest City” a good “send off’ in the
columns of the Illustrated Xewspaptr.
But iu addition to the pen pictures by
Mrs. Leslie, the talented artist who made
the tour with her, and took occasion to
sketch the most attractive scenes, will il
lustrate her articles with the products of
his gifted pencil. Y’our readers in Sa
vannah. St. Augustine and Nassau
should look out for these articles.
ABOUT THE WEEKLY NEWS.
Said au ex-Congressman to me a short
time ago, “I have received a few copies
of the Weekly News.” To which I re
plied, “Yes; I have been sending out
some specimen copies to my friends.”
Drawing his pockethook and taking out
the monev, he replied: “Well, I want to
pay you for it for a year, it’s too valuable
a paper for me to do without.”
A distinguished Virginian, now resid
ing here, said to me a few days ago: “I
am delighted with your Weekly, and am
glad you called my attention to it. I
consider it the very best paper in the
South; in fact it is the only secular paper
that I allow to go into the hands of my
wife and daughters before I have exam
ined it. I always feel sure that it con
tains nothing sensational, impure or de
grading. We need more such family
papers in the South. ”
AN OLD STORY.
Gen. Waddell is very much mistaken
in thinking that hc is the first distin
guished Confederate officer invited to
address the Grand Army of the Repub
lic at the North.
Some three or four years ago, Admiral
Raphael Semmes, the most “obnoxious”
of all Southerners to the Northern people
at that time, was invited to address
SkillenPost, No. 47, G. A. R., at Rome,
N. Y.T and declined the honor in a very
patriotic and eloquent letter.
Since that time President Jefferson
Davis himself has liecn invited to speak
at the North and West, and Gen. Roger
A Pryor and other Confederate officers
have received similar cordial invitations
to deliver addresses. A year ago, I
think, the Grand ^rmy of the Republic
decided to decorate the graves of Con
federate soldiers buried at the North at
the same time they decorated the graves
of Union soldiers. There is, therefore,
no significance in the recent invitation to
Gen. Waddell. It is merely a compli
ment to him, and one that he well merits,
but nothing more.
THE SAVANNAH PRESBYTERY.
All eyes are just now being turned to
the meeting of the Savannah Presbytery,
to be held at Thomasville on the 10th,
in anticipation of a lively discussion of
the dancing question.
It will Ixj rememlx*red that Rev. Mr.
Montgomery, of Walthourvillc. was the
most prominent opponent of the “deliv
erance” of the last General Assembly,
and left on record a “protest” embody
ing bis views.
Will the Savannah Presbytery endorse
his action? This is now a sort of pivoti-
cal crisis. If he is sustained, then he
goes back to the General Assembly of
this year with his position strengthened
and his opinions endorsed. If, on the
other hand, he is not sustained, the pros
pect of a “big tight” over the dancing
question will be small. The Atlanta
Presbytery will no doubt sustain the Rev.
Dr. Leftwich. Still, iu any event, there
will be some considerable discussion over
the Leftwich-Blaek case, which will go
to the General Assembly for final action.
Deacon Black has money, influence and
good Christian character, and proposes
to make a full test of the matter, which
Rev. I)r. Leftwich, with equal firmness
and positiveness, is prepared to meet
with the law of the Presbyterian Church.
GENERAL E. PORTER ALEXANDER.
President John P. King, of the Geor
gia Railroad, having intimated that he
will retire from that position at the com
ing annual meeting, the public mind
seems to have settled upon General E.
Porter Alexander, now President and
General Manager of the Western Railroad
of Alabama, as Judge King’s successor.
General A. may be considered an Au-
mista boy, being a son of the Hon. Adam
L. Alexander, a venerable and honored
citizen of Georgia, and the father of Mrs.
General A. R. Lawton, of Savannah.
Porter entered West Point Military
Academy in 18-53, and graduated in 1857
with the distinguished rank of “Three,”
in a class of thirty-eight. General John
C. Palfrey, of Massachusetts, and General
Richard K. Meade, of Virginia, were his
successful contestants for the head of
the class, to which honor he aspired with
zeal and a sludiousness that won
merited praise.
Among the members of the class who
became distinguished during the Late war
I recall the names of Generals Strong,
Smith (J. L. Kirby), Morgan, Wildrick,
Reno, Warner, and several prominent of
ficers of lower rank of the North. From
the South there were Generals R. II. An
derson, Peck. Holt, Marmaduke, Quat-
tlebaum, Cone, McNieh, Cunningham,
Kimmel, Fish. Berry, Smith (W- P.) and
Ferguson. All of these names are linked
with gallant service in the field.
General Alexander graduated into the
corps of engineers (the highest honor
generally awarded), and served at the
Special Correspondence of the Morning Xtncs.
Jacksonville, Fla., April 6.—It is
not a pleasant thing to acknowledge a
defeat, and yet it is a melancholy fact
that in our recent municipal election the
Conservative party came within au ace
of being routed, horse, foot and dra
goons. Of the fifteen candidates put in
nomination by that party only four were
successful, and they by scant majorities.
Had it not been for an independent
ticket, headed by Mr. J. H. Abbott, for
Mayor, and run for the avowed purpose
of beating Peter Jones, the latter indi
vidual would now lie chief officer of this
city. In consequence of the iuclemeney
of the weather the total vote was one
hundred less than that of the previous
year. This, coupled with local in
terests and personal prejudices,
contributed to the defeat of the
Conservatives. For the first time since
tlie days of reconstruction the color line
was squarely broken, a large number of
colored voters supporting the Conserva
tive nominations. On the other hand,
the Republican success is largely due to
the numerous votes received from those
who have formerly opposed that party.
Jacksonville contains a very heterogene
ous population, and the late election af
fords proof positive that a large propor
tion of its voters cannot be relied on in
municipal contests. The day was quiet
and orderly, and not a single breach of
the peace occurred.
A meeting was held last night to con
sider the report of Captain Eads relative
to deepening the bar at the mouth of the
St. John’s, and to determine the best
course to lie pursued to insure the suc
cess of this great enterprise. It is to be
pushed as an undertaking of national im
portance and as addressing itself to the
interests of the entire country. This
river is the natural outlet for a vast and
productive region, which would soon be
tilled by a sturdy and energetic com
munity if this great barrier to commerfq
was removed.
It may be years yet before the work is
even commenced, but the people of this
State are too deeply interested to permit
the project to slumbnw. All proper and
legitimate meay *Sn be resorted to, to
accomplish Uffnr wishes, aud ultimate
success unregarded as only a question of
time.
It is claimed that a magnetic spring,
whose waters possess the. property of
perceptible electric shock to those who
bathe therein, has been discovered iu
Orange Park, a few miles up the river.
Should this be verified, it will be one of
the greatest curiosities iu this land of
wonders. *
The late heavy rains have extended
over the State, and some of the lower
counties of the peninsula are inundated.
Most of the large hotels will close dur
ing the present month, and the number
of strangers is perceptibly diminished.
Every vacant spot is now ornamented
with the variegated cards of the lines of
travel leading North and West, and “you
pays your money and you takes your
choice.”
Of the various robberies committed
here this winter that of $7,500 at the
Bank of Jacksonville last Monday takes
the lead in audacity aud in the amount
involved. The theory of the officers of
the institution is, that while the attention
of the cashier was engaged in changing a
note for a stranger, a confederate entered
the door in the rear of the building, and
approaching the safe, secured the booty.
Some arrests have been made, but up to
this time the bold offenders have escaped
detection.
Col. Hemming of this city and a great
admirer of Shakspeare, gave some recita
tions a night or two since, which evinced
much ability and a thorough apprecia
tion of the works of the immortal
dramatist.
The dwellers in the icy North, who
have not yet been able to stick a plow
into their frozen soil, will be surprised
to learn that corn is tasseling in South
Florida. Melons from the same section
will be sent so market next month.
Prof. Henri Gwynn, the distinguished
orator and European traveler, delivered
one of his most fervid discourses last
ni^httoan immense audience. 11 is ad
dress was as brilliant and sparkling as
the accompanying pyrotechnical display.
As a speaker, the Professor ranks with
Count Johannes and George Franc s
Train. He will be in your city next Fri
day, en route for the Paris Exposition.
The bonds issued by the city in aid of
the sanitary improvements are meeting
with satisfactory sales.
Why the House of Representatives can
not arrive at some decision in the case of
Finley against Bisbee, is a mystery to
outsiders. That General Finley will win
in the long run seems to he taken for
granted, but the reasons for this pro
traded delay cannot be ascertained.

party, passed through the State yester

Lumber City, April 4.—Editor Morn
ing Xctex: Please allow me space in the

ment upon the items of interest in this
section of the State. We have just
passed through what might be termed a

we have bad plenty of rain, and the de

The following further details of the
assassination of the Earl of Leitrim and
his clerk and driver have been telegraph
ed from Dublin: The Earl of Leitrim,
left his residence at Milford shortly be
fore 8 o’clock yesterday morning, ac
companied by his clerk, and was driving
on an outside car to Derry to meet his
solicitor. He always carried arms. It
U supposed that the assassins concealed
themselves behind a low embankment
between the road and plantation, and
that having first shot the Earl of Leitrim,
they shr t the clerk and the driver so
there might be no wi.ness. The driver
was shot in the mouth, the ball ranging
upward, and the clerk behind the ear,
both probably at close quarters. His
Lordship's valet was driving about a mile
behind, and on doming up found his
master and the clerk lying dead on
the road. Life was still in the driver.
The assassins meanwhile escaped in
a l>oat across Mulroy Bay. The valet
drove back to Milford and alarmed tlie
police, who, coming to the place, found
the driver still alive, but unconscious.
He died shortly afterwards. There is no
doubt that the murder wa§ agrarian.
The relations between the Earl of Leit
rim and his tenants were unfriendly.
His lordship was kind and liberal to the
poor, but was very particular and exact
ing in his dealings with his tenantry,
visiting with unsparing severity the
slightest infraction of the rules of the
estate. The Ribbon Society has a strong
hold upon the country, owing, in a great
measure, to his harshness. lie had an
iron will which disregarded alike appeals
or menaces, and he possessed extraordi
nary courage and perseverance in pursuit
of his purposes. The Time*, iu an edito
rial on the assassination, says: “It is no
exaggeration to say that the new*s of the
murder of the Earl of Leitrim, which
caused a profound sensation in the House
of Commons yesterday, when confirmed
by the Irish "Secretary, has struck this
country with as much pain and amaze
ment as an unprovoked declaration of
war.”
Two men named McTaggart and Friel
have lieen arrested on board a steamer
going from Rathmullen to Londonderry
on suspicion of complicity in the murder
of Lord Leitrim.
Aerial Navigation Near at Hand.
—The Scientific American informs us the
time when aerial navigation will be with
in the reach of man is near at hand. Mr.
Breary, the Secretary of the British
Aeronautical Society, deitaftred an inter
esting lecture on the subject at the
Grimsby Mechanics' Institute, a short
time ago. Having explained the rudi
ments of the science, and shown the pro
gress it had made, he noted the singular
fact that, although air is so much lighter
than water is, it possesses the power of
supporting bodies much heavier than
itself, while water only supports bodies
of about its equal weight. “If
man could get sufficient surface,
he says, “he could surely get
sufficient machine power for propul
sion.” Steam was at first thought out
of the question, on account of the cum
brous method of generation; but now that
it can lie applied with but slight weight,
it is hoped the question is very near solu
tion. “Many,” Mr. Brearey states, “are
now working at the problem in secret,
partly from fear of ridicule, partly from
want of protection by patent.” ife illus
trated the different methods for flight by
models. His bats “swooped down” upon
the heads of the audience in quite a natu
ral manner. The birds, too, rose and
fell in graceful motion as they traversed
the air from the platform to the end of
the room, or, swerving to the right or
left, bobbed their beaks upon the side
walls. One large model of an albatross
came to grief upon a gas pendant, just as
it was bending its flight into the regions
of the upper air.
Interesting Telephone Experi
ment.—The Philadelphia papers state
that some interesting experiments with
Edison’s carbon telephone were conduct
ed on Tuesday on the Western Union
line between Philadelphia and New York.
Experiments were conducted over a cir
cuit of one hundred miles, the line pass
ing through a maze of wires, crossing
five streams in cables and passing under
ground in New York city to the Western
Union office, where there is a great elec
trical disturbance, owing to the number
of batteries collected there. The car
bon transmitter worked perfectly, every
word spoken at one end of the line be
ing clearly articulated at the other. The
test was a severe one. as on a line ex
posed to such electrical disturbances the
ordinary magneto-telephone cannot trans
mit intelligible sounds. The carbon tele
phone is thus far the only one that has
been successfully worked over long lines
exposed to the disturbing influence of in
duction from other lines. It receives its
name from the use of a carbon disc,
(made of the smoke that gathers on a
lamp chimney), which forms part of an
electric circuit. The conductivity of this
disc is changed by pressure, and, as it is
extremely sensitive, the pressure of vocal
vibrations is sufficient to control the cur
rent. The carbonic disc is connected in
a local galvanic current together with
an induction coil, so that its power can
be increased or diminished at pleasure.
The Keely Motor.—Mr. J. B. Knight,
Secretary of the Franklin Institute, who
accepted Mr. Keely’s challenge for an ex
pert examination of hi' motor, has pub
lished a report of his investigations and
their results. He states that he was not
allowed to make a searching examina
tion, but even with tlie facilities offered
him he is convinced that the motor is a
humbug, and cannot produce a pressure
beyond five hundred pounds to the square
inch, and that the substance which Mr.
Keely claims to be a new vapor of his
ow n discovery is nothing more than at
mospheric air which had been previously
compressed and stored up in secret cham
bers of the apparatus Attached to the
report is a certificate from Dr. Cresson,
stating that an analysis of the gases taken
to him by Mr Knight, collected from the
motor, showed them to be nothing but
atmospheric air composed of about 80 per
cent, nitrogen and 20 per cent oxygen,—.

Corruption ex the Churches.—
Moody is beginning to kick against the
churches on. account of the corruption
that has got into them. He charges two
classes with offensive rottenness. First,
those people wllo join the church for the
purpose of obtaining position, and the
confidence uf society, and soon become
heavy defaulters in pursuance of their
pious confidence game. These do great
harm because they draw suspicion upon
all true and sincere and devout believers.
Second, he charges a class of preachers
themselves with doin^ more harm than
infidels themselves. This i- a sweeping
assertion, aud tends to bring the whole
class under suspicion, according to
Moody’s judgment, unless he specifies
who they are, or to what class they be
long.
Supposed Murder by Tramps.—A
few days ago Gustavus- Jones, a white
man, was found terribly mangled at
Brooks’ Station, Ya., on the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad,
supposed to have been run over by a
passing train. Later accounts from the
scene of the tragedy lead to the impres
sion that Jones was i*ordered. It has
been discovered that thfee colored tramps
were seen leaving the station iust in ad
vance of him, and when his body was
taken up his satchel, new gum boots and
other articles he was known to have
with him could not be found, ^ stick
or club was discny Cre( i near by “ giving
nee by its *ppcaeanee of having
been used iu tin affray, and a few threads
of Jones’ coat sticking upon it.
