Many of the smaller towns throughout
Georgia were visited not long ago by a Turk
and his wife, who made their living with a

using profane language. A guard
named sprewell started for Astiville
with the prisoner, but after thev
they had gone some distance, Sprewell told
the Turk that if he would pay him SSO he
could go free. The Turk agreed to this and
pulled out u roll of money and paid the sum.
sprewell seeiug that the man had more moner,
carried him a short distance further into'a
thickly wooded spot and stepping behind the
ignorant man. shot him twice in the head
with a pistol. The man fell to the ground,
and Sprewell supposing him dead, robbed him
of *4OO. It transpired that Is.th the shols
made only scalp wounds and w hen the Turk
regained consciousness, he found hi* w ay hack
to In-wife and l>ear. where hr reported the
outrage. At last accounts Sprewell had not
been arrested.
The Augusta Erening New* credits Presi
dent Verdery, of the Augusta and Knoxville
road as saviug in an interview
based on the recent sale of the
road's bond*, that while the road is embar
rassed and behind in paying interest on
bondapyet from present earnings and pros
pects, he was more hopeful of the future of
the property than at any time since its com
pletion: that the company had earned its in
terest for the past vcai within *14,000. That
in the first three months of the pre-cut fiscal
year *U,OOO of this deficit had la-en picked up,
notwithstanding the fact that two out of
these three months, (May and -1 une were Hie
most trying ones for railroads. From this lie
felt satisfied, and did no’ hesitate to give it as
his opinion, that the tonipanv would more
than earn its interest charges for the present
fiscal year. Mr. Verdery went on to say that
ihe phy-n al condition of the road was ’being
unproved from time to time; that the engines
and rolling stock were in excellent order, and
no perceptible wear on the rails. He saw no
good reason for this sudden di.-tru-t of the se
curities of the company, and had but little
doubt but what the interest now due would
be provided for by October I.

A Cockney Fire Company.
| London Letter / Philadelphia Pr**s.
Near the American Exchange, at the
corner of the Strainl and Adelaide street,
is the Chandos station of the Mi tro|K>li
tan Eire Brigade. Here are located a
manual engine anil a steamer and twelve
or fourteen tire men. One day l ehaneed
to be passing the brigade station when
a young fellow, all excitement and jter
spiration, rushed up from the direction of
Drurv Lane and breathlessly exclaimed:
-T'rrv up, ’ere! There's a lire just
breakln' limit in Drury Lahe. Look
sharp, now.'’ The engineer who was in
charge ol the place turned to a group of
tlreiuea and said: “’Any, put on your
’elmet and go see wot it is.’’ 'Arry pro
ceeded todon the brigade tunic and 'elmet,
and started off on a run in the direction
of Drury Lane. He was gone perhaps ten
niinutes. When he hove in sight again
he had his 'elmet in his hand, the perspi-
ration rolled front his flaming brow, and
he was puffing like'a locomotive. "Lome
along." he managed to articulate, “it’s a
sure enough fire.” The engineer deliber
ately ordered the manual to be hitched
tip, and while one man went around the
corner to get the horses two others put the
pole in place and the rest of the men
put on their tunics and 'elinets. When
the team was hitched up they pulled out
and rattled away over the pavement to
Drury Lane. Do you know what hap
pened next? Well, they got to Drury
Lane, found that the lire hail spread from
an upper floor, where it had started, to a
paint shop on the first floor, and the whole
building was booming. Their manual
"as of no use under heaven, and they rat
tled back to the station after the steamer.
" hen they returned with their steamer
the firs had consumed the interior of the
building and its contents, and there was
no use for the engine. So they quietly re
turned to their quarters.

CAREY’S REWARD.
How the B retched Informer IT as Kicked
Out of Ireland.
Cork Examiner.
Notwithstanding the cunning cleverness
of Janies Carey, and his violently ex
pressed determination to remain in Ire
land. he was at the last moment com
pletely baffled by the action of the authori
ties and was obliged to leave the country
without receiviug one larthing reward
for his service as approver. Not onlvthis,
but the Lord Lieutenant refused to grant
him a written pardon, and he took his
departure from Dublin a dejected
and disappointed man. As it turns
out his threats to resume his place in
the Corporation and to continue his occu
pation as a bricklayer in Dublin, were
but empty boasts, for when the test came
he demonstrated that he was glad to pro
cure safety on any terms. He believed he
had got the government in a difficulty; that
they could not keep him in prison ;aiid that
they would have to pav handsomely to in
duce him to go away. Hut, deep con
spirator that he was, he was entirely out-
witted, and so unexpectedly that he
seemed paralyzed at his helpless posi
tion, and suddenly submitted to proceed
to a distant land- The manner in which
his acquiescence was obtained was very
simple. Ilis applications for a w ritten par
don were unheeded; his demands for terms
were unanswered; his brother Peter was
removed from his company, so that he
did not know what had become of him;
other informers had left the prison, and
be knew not whither they had gone. He
began to suspect that something had been
done with his family, aud the expression
in the letter appended—written shortly
before he was taken from Kilmainham
shows he was suspicious that they had
been, as he terms it, “kidnapped.”
Carey’s elder children were first sent
away; then his wife and the vounger
members of his family followed, ft being
intimated that the Approver-Invincible
would meet them at a certain port. Sud-
I denly, at night, it was made known to
I Carey that he was to leave the prison.
He started with amazement, and in
; quired what the government intended to
do with him. What, he asked, was to be
| iiis reward? What provision had been
made for his protection ? He was struck
dumb with astonishment when informed
that he would receive no reward; neither
would protection be extended to him; and
he could now make his choice—either to
go to tiie colony for which his passage had
been paid, or the door was open to him to
walk out a free man amongst the citi
zens. Being assured that it was the de
cision of the authorities, his fury seemed
to consume him, and when the question
was put whether he would take his liberty
or his passage to another clime, he got
overcome with fear at the prospect of
lieing turned out in the streets. Finally
the news was imparted to him that his
wife and seven children were already
aboard ship ready to sail, and unless he
chose to join them, their passages having
been paid, he would have but little chance
of meeting them for a considerable time.
The last blow overwhelmed him, aud he
sulkily bowed to the inevitable and con
sented to rid Ireland of his presence for
ever. No time was lost in acting u]>on
this decision—for Carey’s passage ticket
had leen secured and his common outfit
purchased. Where he has gone none but
the'authorities know and their secret is
certain to be well kept.
A III'MAN WINDMILL.
A Roy Whose Arms Grew Out of His
Back.
X rir .lk Sjjecial to Xeu York World, July i!d.
In a small one-story frame dwelling,
situated opposite the freight depot of the
Danbury and Norwalk Railroad here, the
World correspondent recently discovered
a curious example of human deformity,
whose existence has l>een preserved a
secret for nearly seventeen years.
At the house mentioned Thomas Har
den. a railroad laborer, and his wife live
with their son Tom. This boy was born
seventeen years ago, a misshapen mite of
humanity. By the advice f thoi* jurist,
priest the sorrowing parents have care
fully concealed him from the public gaze.
When the World correspondent called
at the house to-day tne unfortunate
boy was found half-sitting and half-re-
dining in ail invalid's easy chair.
He is totally devoid of shoulders, and
from the centre of his back two arms,
w ith well formed hands, grew from a sin
gle joint. The hands and arms are devoid
of the power of feeling,and are also afflict
ed with a strange, continual motion,
sweeping around in a circle like a wind
mill, the arms stretched out at full
length and moving in opposite directions.
This motion never ceases except when
the arms are tied together, and are cov
ered with scars from contact with the
walls, tables, chairs, etc.
His body is further deformed by the
joining of the legs as far as the knee.
Hi re the right leg is turned back and up
ward until the beet strikes the centre of
the back, where it is tirmly imbedded in
the flesh.
He is mentally bright, and conversed
freely and intelligently w ith the reporter
about the lew books his parents had been
al>le to provide for him and about articles
he had read in the newspapers, which are
occasionally supplied to him.
“Said his mother: “He is a great care
to ns. )>eing unable to help himself at all.
Blit he is just as dear to me as if he was
like other children. I suppose he could
l*e exhibited, but as long as his father or
myself have life in our bodies to work for
him he never shall be.”

tor the Speakership anTT i .
(hill's man nor Mr. Carlisle’s m.,,' gav
he will oppose in the next House* 1'
hasty or inconsiderate action upon any Ot
the great questions that may come up.”
Furthermore, Mr. Blackburn says: “I
shall insist upon a reform of the tariff,
putting not less than one-half of the pres
ent dutiable articles on the free list and
reducing the others to a strict revenue
basis, securing to existing industries their
present prosperity, and to labor better
and steadier wages.
"I shall insist upon free ships and a re
vision of the navigation laws to relieve
our people of an annual extortion of $150,-
000.000 now paid England for transporting
our drooping commerce.
“I shall strive for the restoration to the
public domain of all lands not earned by
the corporations to which the Republican
party has voted them during its reckless
and corrupt administration, putting these
lands back again under the operation of
the homestead law, in the hands of the
people, from whom they have Iteen prac
tically stolen.
"1 shall use my best endeavors to se
cure the abolition "of the Internal Revenue
Bureau, with its army of spies and super
numerary officers, and place the collec
tion of Hie tax on whisky and tobacco in
the hands of the custom house officers,
already established and now maintained
in each State, reducing the same as near
as may le to the present stamp system.
*•1 will insist upon reducing the number
of Federal officers to a strict business
basis, and the expenditure of public
moneys to the least amount necessary for
legitimate governmental expenses, leav
ing surplus for the gradual ex
tinction ot the public debt.
“I am in favor of the annual anpropri
ation. from the surplus revenues, ot $25,-
000,000 for the purposes of education, the
same to lie distributed among the United
States, and by them exjiended In tud of
their common school systems, such dis
tribution among the States to be made
u I von I be basis of illiteracy.
-I shall favor and earnestly labor for
the adoption and maintenance of a liberal
policy and full appropriations for the im
provement of the navigation of the Mis
sissippi river.”
It would be interesting now to know
what Mr. Randall, Mr. Carlisle and Mr.
< ox propose to “insist upon" iu the next

Baltimore Sun .
The Salem i Va.) Times expresses satis
faction at the interest which has been
elicited by the editorials of the Sun on the
importance of improved railway connec
tions between Baltimore and the South
and Southwest. The Times says: "Bal
timoreans must control the proposed road,
and, therefore, they must take the lead in
building it,” The Times is also au
thorized to say that a 100-ton iron furnace
will le in operation at Salem bv the time
the Valiev Railroad is completed to that
place, whilst other new enterprises there
would at once and permanently furnish
the road a large tonnage. The Carolina
Spartan , published at Spartanburg, S. C ; ,
a flourishing young city, suggests that tl
Baltimore and Virginia wish a terminus,
they should look to Spartanburg. At that
place, it claims, they would tap the Air
Line, and be able to go east or west,
whilst the road to Augusta, Ga., will soon
be flnished, giving an outlet to the wes
tern part of North Carolina and Southern
Georgia.

Mr. Harris, Chairman of the Committee

lengthy report of the operations and ob
servations of the committee in visiting
such schools at the North. They strongly
recommend such a school in Georgia, and
presented with the report a bill for that

was adopted and three hundred copies
were ordered printed.
The Finance Committee reported favor
ably on the resolution to procure a por
trait of Gov. Jenkins for the State.
Mr. Ray’s fertilizer bill came up as the
special order.
Mr. Crenshaw, of the committee to in
spect the Agricultural Department and
Fertihzer Inspection, moved to postpone
the bill to August 2, as his committee
would report on this subject and their re
•Vip*ll modify the provisions of the
1011. The motion was lost bv 45 veas to
82 nays.
. Humber, of J’utnatn, was favorable
to the bill if properly amended. He otter
ed an amendment, which was opposed by
Messrs. Iloge, Jenkins and others, and
lost by 41 yeas to 71 navs. Another
amendment by him was also lost by 44
yeas to I*4 nays. Both were precaution
ary amendments.
.Sir. McGregor, of Warren, moved to
amend so as to prevent the provisions of
the bill going into effect during the pres
ent system of inspecting fertilizers by the
Mate. It was lost by 45 yeas to 81 navs.
Mr. Ray’s substitute was adopted and
the bill was put upon its passage, but Mr.
Kay asked to have further actioii post
poned until to-morrow.
Mr. Gary, of Richmond, opposed any fur
ther delay ill the discussion of the meas
ure, and the motion was lost bv 62 veas to
68 nays. '
Air. Ray then discussed his bill and
read from --Dealer” in the Morning
News as to the evils of the present in
spection system.
-Mr. Robbe, of Richmond, asked him if .
some friend of his bill could not have '
written the article? He indignantly re-
P Xr and continued his argument.
Mr. Mcßryde moved a suspension until
to-morrow.
Mr. Gary again opposed and the vote
stood 66 yeas and 66 nays. The Speaker
voted nay and the debate continued.
Mr. Iloge, of Fulton, getting the floor,
opposed the bill in a very strong argu
ment.
Mr. Russell, of Decatur, then called the
previous question, which was sustained.
Air. Ray was allowed to close the de
bate for the bill, and Air. McGregor, of
W arren, was selected to close tor the op
position.
1 he yeas and nays were demanded, and
the result, 88 veas to 61 nays, was an
nounced amidst hearty and general ap
plause.
Mr. Ray was afraid to come to a vote
to-day, but the opposition pressed him to
the wall, yet he got through by the skin
of his teeth. It was one of The hardest

against the bill creating a Lieutenant
Governor.
Senator DeYVolf introduced a bill to
incorporate the Buena Vista and Ogle
thorpe Railroad Company.
1 lie Dill allowing the Commissioners of
Taylor county to let bridge contracts
without noiul or security was lost.
On the bill amending section 4,500 of the
Code, in regard to employing illegally ser
vants of another person, the committee
reported adversely, but Senator Tutt, the
author of the bill, argued in favor of it, as
it is hard to get negroes to sign written
contracts. Any one employing the ser
\ ants of another in this manner ought to
be made to sutler the lull penalty of the
law. Senators Pike, Davis, Dubignon,
Parks and Peeples opposed, white Sena
tors Livingston and Polhill /uvored it. As
Mr. Dubignon suggested a deficit in the
bill, on motion of senator George, it was
recommitted.
A message announcing the deatli of
Judge Crawford was received, and Mr
Dußignon offered a resolution of respect
and adjournment, which was adopted.

A Claim for SIOO,OOO Damages on Ac

Washington, July 24. M. a.
Dauphin, of the Louisiana Lottery Com
pany, to-day entered suit iq. the District
Courts, through his attorneys, against
W alter (j. Gresham, Postmaster General,
for SIOO,OOO damages. His bill sets forth
that he is engaged in a legitimate busi
ness, and has complied with all
the legal requirements of the
■Mate in which his business is
conducted. It recites the action of Post
niaster General Key in 1879 in directing
the I ostinaster at New Orleans not to pay
any money orders drawn in the com
plainant's favor, and to otherwise refuse
him the privileges of the mails, and the
subsequent order by which this
order was rescinded, and then charges
that on the 9th of July, 1883, the
defendant, without reasonable cause,
and without hearing any evidence
whatever concerning the matter made an
order restoring the order issued by Post
master General Key in 1879 to full force
and effect. This order, the’complainant
claims, was willfully, maliciously and op
pressively made, and by it he was grossly
injured and his business damaged.

I YY ebb, the noted English swimmer, per
| ished in an attempt to swim the Niagara
i river whirlpool rapids this afternoon. He
; was rowed in a skiff to opposite the old
Maid of the Alist landing by John Ale-
Clov, the ferryman at the falls,
; and leaped from the boat at two
minutes past four o’clock. The daring
swimmer passed the big rapids all right,
keeping the middle of the stream. When
he struck the whirlpool he was rushed to
the American side, where the waves, it is
estimated, are from thirty to forty feet
high, and the last seen of him was when
he threw up one arm. His shoot of the
rapids was thrilling. Hi* intention was
to pass the whirlpool op the Canada side.
Webb leaves a wife aid two children in
England. The refusal of the railroad and
hotel managers t the falls to have any
thing to do with what they termed his
“going to his death,” rendered the affair
financially a failure. The river has been
searched for two miles below the whirl
pool and no trace of the foolhardy man
can be found,and it is generally conceded
that Ik was engulfed in the whirlpool.

The King of Dahomey received an .in

on elephants’ backs for use in the Held.
'Vitil much difficulty this project was
carried out. and at the next military

guns be fired immediately in front of the

to place a couple of thousand of prisoners
about where it was calculated the hall
would strike, so as to judge of the effeetive

When all was ready one of the biggest
elephants was backed around and sight

ever, the animal turned half round to
reach for a peanut or something and the
shell took off the Prime Minister’s head
and knocked a hole as big as a sewer
through the palace. His Majesty wouldn’t
have cared so much if the matter had end

The Nan in an “extra,” issued after one
o clock, says: “The boat had made three
trips to Tivoli. The morning boat took
down 100, the two o’clock boat 1,200.and the
81x ® e l°ck boat 75. This latter boat reach
ed the pier at 8:30 o’clock, and prepared
to take all hands back to the city at once
as requested by Father Starr. The ex
cursionists knowing that this was the
only boat dashed along the pier until
they were stopped by the gate,
near the steamer. Some noisy youths
tried to climb over the gate, and a man
and a boy seated themselves on the rail
with their legs hanging. A sudden move
ment caused the rail to break, and the
two were thrown into the water. Com
motion followed this, but before efforts
had even taken shape to save them there
was a crash and a chorused shriek. Splin
ters flew in every direction, and about
two hundred people were strmrirlim*

among broken timbers in eight feet of
water. The noise and cries were so loiul
that water men heard them two miles
away. 1 hose who witnessed the scene
6tate that it was sickening. The moon
had gone down and the only light was
that shed by two feeble coal oil lamps,
home of the rescuers took the barge lan
terns and set them on the wharf. Two of
them exploded and added fresh horrors to
the scene. Those on the decks of the
barge threw life preservers, stools and
benches into the water. These struck a
good many on the head and knocked
them insensible. Others let down
planks and ropes. An indescribable
hopelessness and terror reigned. There
were shrieks, curses, groans, cries for
God to “save us’’ andheatrending prayers
for help. Darkness impelled the help
rendered by those who jumped into the
water. The movements of the barge
caused a wash that carried those who
were battling the water under the wharf
and among the piles. The men were
mostly able to struggle out. Those
raales who were drowned were
trying to help women and chil
dren. After the confusion was
over, a huge fire was built on the shore
for those who had been saved, and their
ciothes were soon drying. Dragging for
the bodies was then commenced.’*
The Coroner’s inquest into the disaster
began this evening. The testimony indi
cates that the accident was due to the
condition of the pier. The piles support
ing the floor were shown to be about ten

less places, and the timbers supporting it
were badly rotted. A piece ot one of •

of the companies now leasing the
convicts of the State, and known as compan
ies number one, two and three; and a Warden
for the convicts nowin charge of the Marietta
and North Georgia Railroad Company, as
long as said companies shall have charge of
any number of said convicts. Said Wardens
shall hold their office during good behavior,
subject to removal by the fiovernor. at his
discretion. They shall each receive a salary
of |I,OOO per annum, to be paid in quarterly
installments, out of the fund arising for the
hiring of said convicts, on Executive war
rants, as other civil officers of this State are
paid.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted by the author
ity aforesaid, That should said penitentiary
companies, for their own convenience, divide
the convicts in their control, and establish
other penitentiary camps, and work said
convicts at points so distant from the prin
cipal camps that the Warden appointed for
said company cannot, in the opinion of the
Governor, properly inspect said camps and
discharge the duties hereinafter required of
them, then it shall be the duty of
the Governor to appoint as many As

However important may be a person’s

desire for seclusion has grown upon
the gentleman during the past two or
three years, previous to which he was

was upon the visiting lists of the majority
of the cottagers. It is said by those

to have a fit of nervous depression from
which it takes him a long time to rally.

- ® e !* ec t upon the business interests
oi the city lor several weeks was quite
disastrous. In eo6equence of the quar

towns against freight,as well as persons,
many oi our merchants had their sales
greatly curtailed. Sone of our friends in
the country lost their heads entirely and
adopted regulations Hat were the off
spring of terror rather than cool judgment
and reflection. Now that the flurry and
alarm have subsided, it must be conceded
that a disease that has prevailed for a
** I° ur mouths amid a population
ol -,>,000 souls, with a mortality consid
erably less than one daily, should not
nave turnished occasion fw the wide
spread apprehension that existed.
'V ith the exception of half a dozen con
v.descents still at the pest house and a
lew cases that are corrnled. in a remote
part of the county the fell disease, it is
hoped, has been exterminated. The
wheels ol trade revolve with their usual
briskness, the steamers are taking heavy
lreights up the river, merchants wear a
prosperous appearance, land-seekers are
neither “few nor far between,” and al
though m the very midst of summer, the
volume of trade is highly satisfactory,

loads from this point to the southern por
tion of the peninsula, requiring as they
do the employment of large gangs o'f
laborers and the necessai y expenditure
ot considerable amounts of money the
greater portion of which finds its wav to
the city, keeps everything in a brisk and
lively condition.
An unusual amount of building is
going on this summer, and the city and
its numerous suburbs show many marked
and handsome improvements. Real es
tate steadily advances in value, and is
constantly changing hands to the satis
iaction of both sellers and purchasers.
Jacksonville is now the terminus of
four different railroads, to which number
will shortly be added two others, the
work upon which is rapidly progressing.
Her future is full of promise, and is based
upon a solid and seeure foundation. Her
facilities and situation are such that she
must always control a very large share of
the trade of this State and supply the
wants ot the major portion of the popu
lation. 1
Should the projected ship canal be com

that the caterpillar has attacked the cot

however, has been dethroned in Florida,
and can go into retirement. His rivals,
the various fruits and early vegetables,
are on the point of wresting the sceptre
from his failing hands. A splendid yield
of oranges is in sight, while the annual
