A STKANGEH AT INDIAN SPRING.
•Jack Plane A isits the Famous Place
After ail Absence of Twenty Years.
Indian Spring, June A>.— After the
lapse of twenty years I find ntyself once
more at this Mecca of the health seeker.
Twenty years have wrought many changes
in the outside world. Almost a genera
tion has passed on their grand march to
the tomb, with all their hopes, and joys,
and sorrows, and disappointments. Amid
all this outward change there is but little
visible at Indian Spring. The ruins of
the Mclntosh House and the adjacent
stores make the greatest change to the
eye. The landscape sleeps in its pristine
beauty, and the setting sun purples the
tops of the surrounding hills and throws
its slanting rays over the fields of corn and
pasture lauds as ot yore. The twilight
steals out of the grove of majestic oaks in
front of the Elder House, adding an
additional charm to the falling waters as
they rush over the rocks on the other side
close by the mill. A thousand thoughts
come trooping up of the long ago. This
was enchanted ground a century ago, be
fore the “pale faces” first beheld it, or
realized its healing virtues. There are
several beautiful Indian legends, I am
told, connected with this famous spring,
but I have neither time nor space to give
them now. Of one thing, however, I am.
convinced—nature has never given a more
bewitching scene of rural beauty than the
valley and rugged hills around tlie Indian
Spring. Its beauty charmed me twenty
years ago, as I alighted from the lumber
ing coach, after a ride of sixteen miles
over a rugged road, and it has lived in
memory ever since.
This "spot has been famous as a health
resort for over fifty years. Before the day
ol railroads a hundred private carriage’s
with splendid teams would be gathered
here every season. The Southern planter,
with his family and retinue of trained
servants, made this the most attractive of
all Southern resorts. Here gathered the
politician and the statesman, the lawyer
and the tradesman, the beauty and the
chivalry of Georgia. It was a grand place
in those days.
The building of railroads changed the
mode of travel so completely that the
stage coach, with its sounding" horn, lost
all charm for the average pleasure seeker.
New watering places were opened up and
modern ideas introduced which attracted
the blithe and the gay. Hence Indian
Spring was left to the invalid
and the weary, aud the crowds
grew less with each succeeding
summer. The building of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad
last season was the resurrection morn to
this famous resort. Every hotel and
boarding house was tilled to overflowing
last summer with Georgia's fairest and
best. A glorious future seemed to be
opened up. The season closed and was
deemed the most prosperous for the past
twenty-five years.
Preparations were being made for
another joyous summer, and large num
bers of siimmer visitors had made out
their slate for the coming tour, taking in
Indian Spring. The burning of the Mc-
Intosh House blighted the anticipations
ami confused the plans of many. The
huildiug could not lie restored this season,
and many set their faces in a different di
rection, and the apprehension is now-that
the crowd will be limited. However, the
Elder and the Varner Houses are in ele
gant trim, and with their accustomed
hospitality are prepared to take care of
all who come. Dr. Bryant has also open
ed a boarding house, where he can accom
modate thirty or forty guests. There are
not over a hundred guests here now, but
every train brings someone, and slowly
but surely the number augments. The
Elder House will have an elegant string
band by the first of July.
Indian Spring is located in the forks of
Sandy creek, in Butts county. The coun
tv was named for Captain Samuel Butts,
a' native of Southampton county, Vir
ginia. He fame to Georgia when quite
voting. He entered the home army raised
to protect the frontier from depredations
of the Indians. He was killed at the bat
tle of Chalibbee, with the Cherokees, on
January ’iT, 1814. The Legislature, in
honor " i>f his bravery and honest
life, named this count) for him.
The spring comes torth from a
crevice in a roek some fifty yards above
where the two prongs of Sandy creek com
bine. It is not a bold stream,’ but a con
stant flow. The water is strongly impreg
nated with sulphur, and has other medici
nal qualities. Nature, in the secret lal>-
ratory in the rocks, brews the wonderful
beverage and sends it torth for the healing
ot the people. Thousands have tested its
\ irtues and have gone their way rejoic
ing. Some woudertul cures have been re-
ported.
The people are plain, honest, and are
now waking up to an appreciation of
what a goodly heritage they possess.
They claim much for their section on the
score of health. They point with pride to
the fact that Mrs. McMiehael, a most ex
cellent lady in the county, lived to the
good old age of one hundred years.
And they are pleased that Robert Grier,
of almanac fame, lived and died
in this county. He has been dead many
years, but a firm in Macon coiftiuues to
publish the genuine “Grier’s Almanac”
all the same. -Mine Host.” Colonel Wet.
Elder, is one of the landmarks of the sec
tion. lie stauds erect at 6ixty-five, robust
and strong. He is over six feet in height,
and a most genial gentleman. He has
lived all his life within a radius of sixteen
miles ot where, he was born, and has spent
fortv-four consecutive years in hotel life.
This places him at the head of the list ol
hotel keepers in the State. He claims to
have shaken hands with, and entertained
morb of the best people of Georgia, than
anv living man. He has now the largest
hotel at the Spring, and will soon have it
full. His table is well supplied, and his
bread and coffee exceptionally good. He
has an old relic upon which he
dotes much, and never wearies of
telliug its history. It is an old
clock of the “wall-sweep” style.
It was the property of a family by the
name of Watson, and had been handed
down for rnauv years. They have posi
tive know ledge that it has been running
Tor B 7 years, at least. It has an elegant
mahoganv case, gold hands, and gives the
dav of the mouth and the changes of the
moon with perfect precision. The ma
chinery is but slightly worn, and I cannot
see why it should not run for another hun
dred years. The bouse in which it stands
was built thirtv-tive years ago. and Col.
Elder is determined to keep it there until
the wheels of life stand still in him, aud
then it becomes the property of his young
est son. It is quite a curiosity.
The Indian Spring depot, on the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Rail
road, is two and a half miles from the
spring, and IS reached by a line of superb
hacks, owned by Mr. William Elder. At
the depot I found Mr. F. W. Edwards,
formerly of Savannah. He is the popular
agent and telegraph operator. He seems
delighted with his position. The
station small and business limited, he
puts in his spare time in crayon sketch
ing. He had finished iu handsome style a
life size crayon jmrtrait of Mr. Tom
Burnev aud wife. It is thought that all
the business houses at the Spring will be
transferred to this point. Many are
making preparations to move over this
fall. The running of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Road through this
section is developing the whole country.
New villages are springing up all along
fhe line. The train is coming and my

MR. HILL’S ITCHING PALM.
A QUESTION OF VERACITY BE
TWEEN HIM AND WILBUR.
The Sub-contractor Allege* Being Asked
or 10 Per Cent.—Messrs. Hill and
Gannon Deny the Son Impeachment
aJ., .- CUIm R *P ort ‘ and Adversely and
Still Lnpahl.
Washington, June 27.—1n the Hill in
vestigation to-day J. M. Wilbur testified
to having done some work on the New
tork post office building in 1877 after Mr.
Hill )>ecame supervising architect. Mr.
NV ilbur presented his claim for $40,000.
Mr. llill remarked that he ought to have
something for settling such an old claim.
He referred Mr. Wilbur to a
clerk named Gannon. The latter
took the witness into another
rtT!.\ i *. nd i told „ hini that Hill and Gannon
9HJP* to i‘ ave I>er cent, for settling the
i fuf w itness neither accepted nor
rejected this suggestion, and he believes
Air. Hill and Mr. Gannon reported ad
versely upon his claim, as it was dis
allowed by the Secretary of the Treasury
and has not yet been paicL On cross
examination the witness was asked
why he had not made a record of this
com ersationjd .the time of 4F*r occur
rence* He replied:
“Well, I thought that it was a rather
strange proceeding on the part of a gov
ernment official, but I was a stranger in
Washington at that time, and I did not
know but that it was a custom with offi
cials here.”
Mr. Gannon then took the stand and
denied that any such conversation
ever occurred as had been de
tailed by Mr. Wilbur, or that
any proposition had been made
by him (.the witness) to Mr. Wilbur lor 10
per cent, of his claim for passing it. Air.
Hill referred Mr. Wilbur to him(Gannon)
because it was customary in the office to
refer claimants to the clerk having the
matter in charge.
Air. Hill took the stand and said that a
portion of the testimony of Air. Wilbur
was true and that part of it was false. “I
never had any conversation w ith Air. Wil
bur in which it W’as either said or inti
mated that 1 would receive or permit anv
compensation to be paid for the settlement
of his claim.”
Air. Wilbur was cross-examined w r ith
the object ot demonstrating that what
ever claim he had was against Bartlett A
l, ~i" H ’ tlie contra ctors under whom
Mr. \V ilbur w as a sub-contractor, but this
line of examination was stopped.

EMPTYING A POOR HOUSE.
Another Horde of Irish Pauper* to Bet
Sail from Queenstown.
London, June 27.—The last batch of
emigrants from the Swinford Union Poor
Hous4, one hundred in number, have gone
to Queenstow n for shipment to the United
States. It is said that most of them have
been in the work house.
In the House of Commons to-day Joseph
Cowen, Radical, gave notice that he
would submit a question as to whether it
was true that Irish paupers had been sent
to America with the knowledge and con
sent of the government.
Peter Carey and his family have left
Ireland. Their present whereabouts and
their destination are unknown. James
Carey is also going to leave or has already
left.
The Time* says that it has been arranged
to send two of the principal Invincible in

Dublin, June 27.—Mr. Parnell, in his
speech at Monaghan, yesterday, in the in
terest of Air. Healy’s candidacy for the
House of Commons, said that his party
intended to endeavor to amend the land
act so as to make reduced rents date from
the time of the application therefor to the
court, to jirm jjjg UuU-Umants shall be al
lowed for improvements made within
thirty or forty years, und that lease hold
ers shall be admitted to the benefits act.
The Court of Apiieals has rendered a
decision in the important test case of
Cliaine vs. Nelson, on which forty thou
sand other eases depended. The’ court
held that the new rents became payable
from the lirst sale day after the act was
passed, and not from the day when they
were fixed by the Commissioners.
Earj flpencer, the lAird Lieutenant, iu
speaking at I imerick, said that he saw
signs’of a better future for Ireland. He
advocated technical training leading to
an improved style of farming before
the people entered upon the task of re
claiming waste lands. He maintained
that the land act worked well, and asked
all classes to co-operate for the material
advancement of Ireland.
The Chairman of the Loughrea Union
has declared that he never knew the out
door relief list to be as high as it is now,
and that it has become necessary to in

GENERAL CROOK’S PETS.
The Doughty Fightei Still Putting In a
Word for Ilis Favorite Plan.
IV ashington, June 27. —Secretary Lin
coln to-day received the following dispatch
from General Crook, dated at Whipple
Barracks yesterday: “The report that the
Chiricahuas have been forced upon the
San Carlos reservation is incorrect.
The facts in the case are
that those who had surrendered
were sent forward under a guard of four
companies of cavalry and Indian scouts,
my instructions to Captain Crawford be
ing that the Chiricahuas should lie kept
with the scouts until other arrangements
could be made. The Chiricahuas who
went after their families told
me that they would join the column
at tlie line, or should we have
gone too fast then they w ould follow’ along
the mountains and come in at San Carlos.
We have no means of communicating
with them until they couie in at the
agency, and if tlie first arrivals
find that those who started back
with us arc not with the scouts,
we destroy all chances of ever reducing
then; to a state of peace. The Indians on
the San Carlos reservation are in no dan
ger of being contaminated by contact
with the Chiricahuas. Asa matter of
humanity 1 am anxious to get in the last
of the band so as to leave nothing undone
for the recovery of the captive boy.
ON THE VERGE OF A STRIKE.
The IW'tlib’lieni Steel Workers Bound to
Have Better Pav.
Bktbleukm, Pa., June 27.—The unrest
and dissatisfaction of the employes in the
steel mill of the Bethlehem Iron Company
have culminated in a determination to
strike and resist a further decrease in
wages. Many of the employes be
long to the Amalgamated Iron
and Steel Association, and the
presence recently of Messrs.
Jarrett aud Lee, of the National Associa
tion. has given encouragement to the
men. A committee called upon Superin
tendent Fitz last evening with a view of
adjusting the difficulties, but no satisfac
tory result was attained. Another con
ference was held this afternoon, but no
definite arrangement was made. The
company threaten to shut down
their large steel mill rather .than
comply w ith the demands ol their work
men, and orders have already been issued
to close the mill as soon as all the iron
has been run out of the cupolas, but it is
believed that this order w ill be recalled il
the company aud employes arrive at an
early agreomont. Should the steel mill
close the blast furnaces will also be blown
out. Feeling runs liigh, and much ex.
citement und confusion prevails among
the employes.
RUSSIA AND LEO AGREED.
The Long Negotiations at Last Result
in an Amicable Understanding.
St. Petersburg, June 27.—The gov
ernment announces that the negotiations
between Russia and the Vatican have
been concluded. The Hierarchy will be
allowed freedom in matters cl faith, but
interference in questions in regard to
temporal power is forbidden. The gov
ernment retains the righ of inspecting
seminaries. The Curia recognizes
the right of the government
to exercise control over the
education of Catholic children in the
Russian language, literature and history.
The appointments of teachers are to be
first submitted for the approval of the
government. In regard to instruction in
the canonical branches the rights ol the
Bishops remain untouched. The power
is restored to the Bishops of removing
clergymen. The government intends to
abrogate the exceptional measures
against the Catholics issued in 1804.
CALDERON AND IGLESIAS.
Congress Authorizes the Recognized
President to Make Peace.
Lima, June 27.—A new paper published
here yesterday prints a letter from Gene
ral Calderon to General Iglesias, dated at
Valparaiso, February 8, in which he says
that all attempts to make peace have
been frustrated by General Iglesias or
Senor Pierola, who have been treating
with Chili at the same time and offering
better terms. President Calderon says
that he had hoped to conclude peace
without the cession of the territory,
hut that that now seems impossible. He,
however, hopes that Gen. Iglesias and all
the parties will unite for the common wel
fare, and make an immediate peace, with
the least possible sacrifice.
A telegram from the British Vice Con
sul at Arequipa says that the Congress
sitting there lias authorized President
Calderon to make peace with Chili.

A FURIOUS RAIN STORM.
GREAT DAMAGE DONE IN NEW
YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA.
Fires in the Rotting Mills Pat Oat and
Business at a Standstill—Sporting
Events Abandoned —Crops Ruined
The Losses Beyond Estimate —Mis
souri Still Inundated.
Washington, June 27.— The races at
Coney Island, New York and Chicago,
and the base ball matches generally,
which were set for to-day, were postponed
on account of rain. A storm of nearly
twenty-four hours duration has prevailed
over Pennsylvania and New Y'ork,
rising streams with destructive rapidity
destroying crops and doing much damage
to manufacturing interests.
Several collieries in Pennsylvania were
invaded by floods, and work was stopped.
Several rolling mills near Harrisburg,
I’a., hiul their fires chilled by the sudden
rise of an ordinarily insignificant creek.
Country roads and railroad tracks wen*
torn up, and travel is impeded all over
the section covered by the storm. No life
was lost, but the destruction ol property
is enormous. JL.
WiLKESBARRK, Pa., June 27.—This
evening another house was washed away
into the cave. The waters are pouring into
the Conyngam mine workings to-night. It
has lieen raining heavily all day. Should
it not clear up soon the’water will extend
into the workings ot the other mines. It
will be two months before work can lie
resumed. Over 000 miners and laborers
are thrown out of employment.
St. Louis, June 27.—The river at East
St. Louis continues to fall slowly, and in
all that section of the country west of the
Chicago and Alton Railroad the water
has fallen one foot. But iu that part of
the bottom lands east of the above
named road, a steady stream is still
pouring through a crevasse. Near New
port the water is rising and will continue
until a common level is reached.
Cobokia creek also cont inues to rise and
the Water has reached the tracks running
north from the Relay depot and between
that point and the bridge and the junc
tion. Work progresses rapidly at the
break in the Chicago and Alton track,
near Newport, and the trestle will be
ready lor trains to cross this evening.
Computations based upon information
derived from well informed sources makes
the number of acres of farm land over
flowed in these townships in Madison
county 7,000.
A rather low estimate makes the actual
loss to crops alone $210,000. In that sec
tion of St. Clair county east and south of
East Carondelet, so far as it is at present
estimated, 5,400 acres of wheat, corn and
potatoes are uuder water. The loss is
$200,000. These losses are in only flour
townships and comprise only a small part
of the damage done on the American bot
toms.
CATHOLICISM IN FRANCE.
Interesting Correspondence Between
the Pope and President Grevy.
London, June 27.—The Times’ corre
spondent at Paris says that Pope Leo, in
his letter to President Grevy regarding
church affairs iu France, complains of the
explusions of religious orders, the sus
pension of the salaries of curates, the
army bill which militates against, the
supply of priests, and the arbitrary
changes proposed before the Concordat
Commission, thus rendering the church
unable to defend its rights against the
usurpations of the State. President
Grevy’s reply will be conciliatory.
The government has decided that Presi
dent Grevy shall answer the Pope’s letter
personally. In connection with this cor
respondence between M. Grevy and the
Pope a protest entered by the Archbishop
of Paris against the suppression of chap
laincies, iu Paris hospitals is interesting.
The Archbishop says that the measure is
one of cruel intolerance, but, notwith
standing, the priests uiuid continue to do
everything possible for the sick. The de
cree permits a patient to summon a par
ish priest, and the Archbishop says that
the latter should stipulate for liberty to
visit all professing Catholics.
DISTILLERS IN COUNCIL.
The Present Kate of Production to be
Continued Until Fall.
Chicago, June 27,—A committee of fif
teen of the distillers of the National Ex
port Association met here to-day. One of
the questions for settlement was whether
the present rate of mashing—2oper cent,
of the capacity of each distillery—should
be continued beyond July 1, the date to
which the agreement originally extended.
The committee recommended that this
agreement be continued until the stock of
spirits on hand shows a decrease. The
question of forming anew pool in Sep
tember, when the present pool expires,
was not definitely acted upou. The high
wine distillers were asked to accept a
lower rate of production than tlie dis
tillers of whisky in view of
the large quantity of high wines in the
market. They declined, and it was de
cided to refer the whole question of anew
pool and production to a general meeting
of the pool at Chicago July 11th. The
complaints that the Cincinnati distillers
violated their agreement, was pronounced
unfounded.
The Trial in Hungary.
London, June 27.—1n the trial at
Nyreghhaza to-day, Police Commissary
Bariza, of Debreezin, deposed that Moritz
Scharf had confessed to him that he had
seen nothing; that he had made the state
ment that he savy the girl murdered in the
synagogue because he feared that he
would be imprisoned tor life. Bariza re
pelled an innuendo of the President that
he had been bribed. Moritz was again
confronted bv his father and mother to
day. The l)oy adhered to las former state
ment. but lie used terms which showed
that he still feared imprisonment.
The Cotton Seed Crushers.
Chicago, June 27.— At to-day’s session
of the Cotton Seed Crushers of the United
States, a committee was appointed to for
mulate a plan for a mutual insurance
company. The question of dividing the
country into two sections for government,
trade rates, and to prevent territorial en
croachments, was also referred to a com
mittee. The convention listened to an ad
dress on the liealthfulues ol cotton seed
oil compared with lard for cooking pur
poses. The final session will be held to
morrow’i The next meeting will be held
at Baltimore in June, 1884.
A Decision Against Masons.
Moxtreal, June 27,—An opinion l>v

cieties, those only being exempt who are
under grand lodges of England, Ireland.

taking ftie matter into court.
No Dearth of Flour.
Chicago, June 27.— The National Mil
lers' Association concluded their annual
meeting to-day. A member lately re
turned from Europe reported large quan
tities of flour iu store in foreign countries,
and crops prospering unusually well. He
predicted no fancy prices for flour luring
the current year. Reports on domestic
crops indicated about an average pro
duction,
Hanged While at Play,
Charlotte, N. C., June 27.—The six
year old daughter of Lawrence Johnston,
of Huntersville township, in this cqunty,
was found dead in her father’s barn to
day, hanging by a halter. She was alone
playing in the barn with a halter, one end
of which was tied to a door hinge, and it
is supposed that her foot slipped and she
fell, the noose closing under her chin and
breaking her neck.
Kill* His Two Boarders.
Chicago, June 27.— William Ray, pro
prietor of a boarding house at Pullman,

home, and he asserts that the act was in
self-defense. He surrendered himself to
the authorities.

TALLAHASSEE’S HEGIRA.
Where the People Are Flocking, and
Other Notes of Interest.
Tallahassee, June 26. —With the close
of our schools for the summer, the end of
the trucking season and the heated term
upon us,has commenced the usual summer
hegira. All who can conveniently, have
either gone or are preparing to goto cooler
climes in a more salubrious atmosphere.
St. Teresa, on our Gulf coast, that has
been so long deserted, will soon become
a lively little village. Two families from
this county moved there about two weeks
ago, another followed last week,
while stilt others will follow the
present week. There will be two good
hoarding houses, so that there will lie
enough accommodations for visitors. One
great objection to this famous summer re
sort is its inconvenience and difficulty of
access. Once there it is a most delightful
place to spend the summer. In the woods
can be found plenty of game; from the
waters of the Gulf can lie obtain
ed the finest tish, while the
almost steady sea breeze mode
rates the Jciuperetuco, and the excellent
salt bathing it affords is a good tonic to
thesystem. Malarial fevers are unknown
there, and for this and other reasons it
has long been known as a favored summer
resort. But to get there aud then get
away—that is its great drawback. At
present there are two routes, neither of
which is the most pleasant. One is by
rail to St. Mark's, aod thence by some
fishing smack to St. Teresa; the other
by a land route of some forty or fifty
miles. By the iorraer the ’ traveler
may be long delayed by capricious
winds and adverse tides. By the latter
he is subjected to the usual jolting over a
rough and unfrequented road. Efforts
were made last summer to secure steam
connection between St. Marks and St.
Teresa, but tlie vessel that was chartered
failed to put in an appearance. A steamer
making tri-weekly trips between. St.
Marks and Apalachicola during the sum
mer months and touching at Caiabelle
and St. Teresa would do a good business.
Hundreds who now go elsewhere would
in this event, make their summer home at
St. Teresa.
The exodus of our people last year,
though large, will be still greater the
present season. This is a sure sign of the
increasing prosperity of this section. It
is not so much for health that many go
away, but for ease, comfort and pleasure.
No matter bow healthy the locality a per
son may live in, if the denizen has the
means it is but natural that he or she
should seek recreation and pleasure
in travel. None of our species
(or very few if any) possessed
of intelligence and a competency can be
satisfied with remaining the entire year
in one locality. The human mind craves
variety in everything; whether it be
scenery, food or clothing, whether it be
physical or mental wants —a change is de
sired. Hence this increasing exodus
from year to vear is not solely liecause of
a dread of miasmatic influences, but for
this craving lor change of scene, and Is in
itself an evidence ol the growing pros
perity of our late poverty stricken sec
tion. Ten years ago nearly
the entire community here be
longed to the “Cant-Get-Away Club.”
Now, there are but few who do not get
off at some time during the summer. So
far we have not had a very h®t season—
indeed, not so much so as up to this time
last year. Last week we experienced the
hottest weather, the thermometer in some
exposed localities being up to 94 degrees.
4Ve never have it as high as 100 degrees,
and Northern persons who come here in
mid summer express their surprise
at the absence ol torrid heats, It
is not the intensity of the heat that ener
vates one in our Land of Flowers, hut its
long continuance. From day to day from
the middle of June to first of September
there is hardly a change over fifteen de
grees in the temperature, and there is
probably not a more equable climate in
the United States than that of our Land
of Flowers,
A rumor amoug us that the Thomas
ville, Tallabasse and Gulf Railroad will
commence the work of location on the
Bth prox., and sub-contracts for its con
struction will be let out on the Ist of
August, gains considerable credence.
Some assert that the Plant syndicate have
now a controlling influence in the affairs
of the company, and the work by them
will he vigorously prosecuted to com
pletion. It is also asserted that tfie com
pany promises to have trains running be
tween here and Thomasville by first of
January next. Asa community we care
not who builds the road, or who owns it
after it is built. A direct connection with
Thomasville is what we want and will
have. It is said that the line be
tween here and Thomasville has
already been determined on, but as the
directory is a close corporation and for
purposes of its own, sees fit to shroud
their plans in mystery, we must wait pa
tiently the developments. From the first
I have never doubted that this road would
he built, because it is a necessity. Al
ready the daily line of hacks between here
and our sister city across the line is being
well patronized, and considerable travel
and light freight reaches us by that route.
With the shortening of the southern route
from Wilson, North Carolina, on the Wil
mington and Weldon Railroad, by the
proposed new route from that point, and
the completion of the road from here to
Tliomasville, we will lie able to get our
Northern mail and the Savannah Morn
ing News at 5 p. m. instead of 7 a. m., as
at present. And here 1 would say fhat
our people are very well pleased with the
present schedule, as wo get two Northern
mails daily—at 7a. m. and 7p. m., the
one comingby Climax and Chattahoochee,
the other by Jacksonville. But Talla
hassee will not be left out in the cold much
longer, and then we will be still more
highly favored. Savannah will then be
twelve hours nearer to us, while at present
she is eoui-distant from us, in point of
time, with New Orleans,
As the dull season has set in certain
light-fingered specimens of humanity In
our midst are exercising their calling in
stealing chickens. Thefts of this nature
are more frequent now than usual. The
hennery that is not well secured bv lock
and key is almost sure to be robbed by
these depredators. Too lazy to work,
and utterly regardless of meum und tuum,
the summer seems to be their harvest
time, Occasionally they are caught, and
a month or two of hard labor in the con
vict gang is attended with wholesome re
sults. It is a matter of congratulation,
however, that instances of petit larceny
are not as common as formerly. The
prompt retribution meted to offenders by
the courts, and the exodus of many to
other parts of the State, has left us a com
parative law-abiding community.
The heat of the summer does not deter
those from more northern climates from
coming hither at this season of the year.
On looking over the registers of the St.
.Tames and the City Hotels, I find arrivals
frm almost every Northern State. These,
unlike the majority of winter visitors, are
not pleasure tourists, but they mean busi
ness. Some come here for the purpose of
investing, saying they wish to see how
Florida appears in the summer, so that
they may better judge. Others are com
mercial travelers or drummersf who fear
neither heat or cold, so long as they can
get orders for their respective houses.
Hardly a week passes now without prop
erty changing flapds. One gentleman wflo
was very anxious to dispose ot a portion
of his city property last winter informed
me this moi-ning that he would pot sell
now at any price, doubtless reasoning
that it would yield a larger per cent, by
improving and renting than by converting
iuto cash and otherwise investing. Asa
further sign of prosperity I have noticed
the erection of a number of new buildings
and the renovating of others. Ex-Qover-.
nor D. S, YValker is having erected a
handsome tworstory brick structure, the
second story of which will be used for a
public library. Nor are some of our
Israelitish fellow citizens behind in en
terprises of this, character. It is
seldom that one of this race invests
to any extent in real estate. But Robert
S. YViiliams is a notable exception, for a
more public spirited individual does not
exist. lie was a large stockholder ia ibe
company that built the Leon Hotel, and
there has hardly been a riilxoacr cppjipahy
chartered, or any BtuiihiV’c'di-puratfon, but
what he batf been interested. Latelv he
has purchased a valuable piece of city
property which he is improving. Besides
this he is the owner of a large abiount of
real estate, both in the city and country.
Such men, whether Jew or Gentile, are
an acquisition to any community . ra

Views of Hon. John G. Thompson as to
the Convention and Its Results.
I fnthinffton Pont.
Hon. John G. Thompson, of Ohio, who
arrived in the city a day or two ago to
look after his interests in the Circuit
Court, wherein the ex-Sergeant-at-Arms
appears as defendant in the well-known
suit of Ylr. Hallet Kilboum, is looking re
markably well and talks verv hopefully
of the Democratic State campaign, which
was inaugurated last week at Columbus,
in this view—and there is no one in Ohio
who has better opportunitv of observa
tion, or a clearer forecast of political
events—there is nothing in the outlook to
cause anxiety as to the result, and there
was nothing in the proceedings of the
convention, whieh have been shamefully
misrepresented, to create alarm as to the
harmony of the party. There are no per
sonal quarrels, nor side issues, nor fac
tional resentments of such a character as
toendanger the compactness of its organi-
Of course the nomination was naturally
disappointing to the opponents of Judge
lioadly—to the friends of General Ware, i
5 e Yi r K- v B °’ , “Y. ' V!,s a hotly-contested ;
tight, remarked Mr. Tb mpsou to a repre
sentative of the Post last evening, “and I
necessarily somebody had to get hurt; but
no sores are made that are not rapidly I
healing, and no disappointments expert’- i
enoed that will stand in the wav of the
united strength and whole-hearted enthu- !
si a sm of the party.”
As to the change that was marie in the
; hairinanship of tlie Executive Commit
tee, Mr. Thompson seems not in the least
perturbed. In fact, he expresses himself
thoroughly reconciled to the substitution
of Ylr. Barger in place of himself. In the
reorganization of committees, as in the
nomination of candidates, there were
strongly conflicting elements, but these
nave all settled down to a harmonious ac
ceptance of the situation, and nobodv
to undo that which has been done
Tffis is the spirit whieh actuates the Ohio
Democracy, and it is the best presage of
success. °
Bar " or ' the . new Chairman,” said
Mr. Thompson, ’‘is my warm, personal
triend. Hie man whom he designated as
committeeman in his own district is a
limn whom he knew to be one of my ar
dent supporters. We are entirely in ac
cord as to measures of party policy, and
shall work heartily and hopefully ’to the
one common end. There is no ill-feeling
in the whole business that deserves the
name. Ylr. Barger’s heart and soul are
in the cause, and that he will prove an
able and efficient executive manager, 1
have never entertained a doubt. He shall
certainly have all the co-operation that I
am able to give him.”
Mr. Thompson’s attention was then
called to the following paragraph in a Co
lumbus special to the New York Times:
“One of the leading workers for General
\\ ard in the State convention is authority
for the statement that John G. Thompson
and his triends are moving heaven and
earth to bring about a reorganization of
the committee whieh will allow Ylr.
Thompson to run the machine. A tele
gram was sent to Washington last night
which is expected to influence this re
sult.”
Not only does Ylr. Thompson deny tins
staten eut absolutely, so far as it applies
to himself, but he says further that if any
such movement is on foot or in conteni.
Plation, he knows nothing about it. He
should countenance no reorganization of
the committee at this stage of the game,
even if it were possible; nor under the
circumstances does he believe any such
action desirable. YYhat is done is
done for the best. That is the gen
eral Democratic conclusion, to which he
cordially subscribes, and with this feelhi“-
permeating the great body of the party”
he has had from the start a cheerful con
fidence of triumph at the polls. This confi
dence, he says, is growing upon him daily.
1 here is but oue Democrat in Ohio, that
he knows of, vvho is opposing tlie ticket,
and while this man’s influence does not
extend beyond his own vote, it is more
than probable that when the day of elec
tion comes he will cast his ballot for
Hoadly and victory.

The Remarkable Career of a Burglar,
Lawyer and Speculator.
Xew York Evening Telegram,
Y\ ayne county has a character who
casts \ ictor Hugo’s “Jean Yaljean” into
the shade, for, while one reformed in good
earnest, the Wayne county man fluctuates
between deeds of chivalry and acts of
baseness. His name is George Avery
and at present he is living in one of the
Western States. In 1870, when Av-erv
was only 21 years old, he was charged
with the murder of Jofin Haynes, of Ro.
lands, Dike county. He was arrested
and an officer detailed to bring hint to
Ylilford. Evidence of the murder was
said to be so conclusive that ho could not
possibly escape hanging.
On their way to Ylilford, where the
county prison was located, the officer im
bibed too freely of liquor and beotuue
helplessly drunk. Avery secured the
keys which unlocked the handcuffs and
shackles by which he was bound, and re
moved the manacles, placing them in the
bottom of the wagon. He took the reins
Irom the stupidly drunken officer’s hands,
and drove to the nearest hotel, where he
arrived with the officer in charge at a late
hour. He put the drunken man to bed,
roused him next morning, got him in the
wagon, drove on to Milford, when, after
lie had put the officer in bed at the hotel,
he walked to the jail and delivered him
seli up to the keeper, telling him about
his experience with the con
stable, He was confined till Septem
ber-.-this was in June—when ho
was tried for murder, and in ajfite
of overwhelming proof, was acquitted, to
the surprise of everybody, the court most
olall. The day after he was discharged
from custody he was arrested, charged
with burglary, convicted and sent to
btate prison for a year and a half. He
served the full term, reading law during
his confinement. YVhen he left the Eastern
penitentiary at Philadelphia be returned
home, opened a law office, arrested several
citizens who had testified against him
when whs on trial for burglary,
charging them with perjury. Failing to
mrike out his case he w*as sentenced to
pay the costs. He had no money, so he
went to jail again, where he remained
until his friends could scrape up enough
money to get him out.
When, finally, he becasw> a free man
again, he returned te his old home at
Rolands. Jrom that time forward
burglaries were numerous about there
out never could evidence sufficient to’
convict Avery be obtained. A year or
so later he went to Oil City Ja., where he
luipg out his sign as a lawyer. Client
were plenty and fees large. * Aver*' W as
reaping a golden harvest wbs u he was
convicted of forgery and sent to the
'' estern peniteutJf.ry for four years and
fovo e £m,° Ut “ S ‘ , While there he fell in
love with one of the keeper’s daughters,
and she offered to assist him to escape,
but ho refused to leave until his time was
otiw At the end of the term he went
back to Rolands, soon afterward professed
religion, begin preaching a little,
swindled a neighbor out of SIOO, and was
induced by the neighbor, who enforced
argument with a big shotgun, to refund
the money,
Avery then left for Luzerne county, where
he got into a difficulty and was sent to the
Eastern penitentialy for a short term.
I pon lys, (release he stole money enough
to take him to the mining regions of the
” oat, where, under an assumed name, he
opened a law office and speculated in
stocks. In 1882, he “struck it rich,”
cleared $750,000, gave up stocks at once,
invested his money in government bg&iis,
sent for his fiancee, the prison keeper’s
daughter, who joined kim in Chicago,
where they were married. Avery is only
34 yea;. old. He never touched liquor,
never gambled nor used tobacco, and
claims to have been the “victim of

Helena, Mont., June 27.—At three
o’clock Saturday morning, while the
coach from Deer for Helena was
crossing the main range of the Rocky
Mountains, eighteen miles west of this
city, two men, with handkerchiefs tied
across the lower parts of their faces,
stepped from the bushes and ordered the
driver to halt. John McCormick, a post -
trader at Fort Missoula, was on
the lox with the driver, and draw
ing a six-shooter quicklv opened
tired on the highwaymen. One was bsuilv
hurt, and crawled back into the bush",
and the other returned McCormick’s Are,
seriously wounding one of the wheel
horses. The team took fright and ran,
*bd was soon out of the robbers’ range.
Three other passengers were on board,
but were unharmed. The treasure box
was on the coach following the one at

A WEALTHY FARMER KOBBED.
Imposed Vpou by a Bogus “Long-Lost
Son’’ from Chicago.
PhiUuUlphia Special, AM.
Onier Snyder, a wealthy farmer living
in Columbia county, near Glen City, was
robbed last night of $8,500 in cash and
government bonds, by a young mau who
had passed himself off as Snyder’s long
lost son. ®
A special dispatch to the Times from
Harrisburg says that some w eeks ago the
young man arrived in Glen City and soon
became intimate with Snyder, who did
not doubt the assumed relationship.
On Wednesday last a fashionably dress
ed woman arrived in Glen City from Phil
adelphia and soon became friendly with
the young man. On Friday night the old
man was bound and gagged by the wo
man and the young man. llis safe keys
were taken and the safe otiened and
robbed. Search was made tor the missing
couple, but no trace could l>e found of
them.
lilts morning a detective from Chicago
arrived in the village looking for two in
dividuals whose description tallies exact
ly with that of the farmer's bogidjfson and
the woman. Going to see Mr. Snyder, the
deteotive found that the young man was
not his son, but an old Chicago thief and
confidence man, known among his asso
ciates as “Fly Bill,” and who also we t
under the aliases of John Peters and
Harry Rutledge. The woman, he said,
was wanted in Chicago for a number of
crimes.
A Clever Swindler.
Philadelphia ledger.
The waste of energy was scarcely ever
better shown than in the ;. aw , of young
Sipples, lately before tho Supreme Court
ot New Jersey. Ibe ingenuity which this
young man (a telegraph operator on the
hne Road)displayed, would have made
Ins fortune ii he had only put it into
•legitimate invention. He simply coun
terfeited, to begin with, the chief opera
tor s name and signature in a telegraph
station near the tunnel, first taking pos
session of the station and ordering all the
operators west of it to ground their wires.
He issued various orders, still under the
forged authority; kept up the mystery,
had the depot darkened, sent out a special
train, etc., and finally telegraphed
to Superintendent Hill ia the Trea
surer’s name that a contemplated rob
bery of the Paymaster’s office was discov
ered, and directing him to hand over the
funds in his possession to a iiolice “de
tective,” who would arrive lor the pur
pose. This was the hitch in the plan,
which had boon admirable in its working
to this point. The Superintendent an
swered the Treasurer (as he supposed)
that the funds, some $45,000, were as safe,
with him as they could be with a police
officer, and that he would deliver them
only to Mr. Spencer in person. A less
shrewd man would probablv have fallen
into the plot, and it likely that
Sipples himself was ready to play the
police officer. His sentence was for five
years’ imprisonment, in addition to the
fourteen months already spent in jail;
and it seems rather a light one, consider*
ing the mischief which even an hour’s
mastery of the wires in an assumed name
might have done. When there is con
sidered the boldness, the ingenuity, the
details of the plan, and that failure hap
pened only by the firmness of one man, it
suggests that Sipples could put his tal
ent to much better use than such villalnv,
and if the five years of retirement could
be given to penitent reflection that he
might be able to command success in
some broad field of usefulness.
