Eangley. A write man present, named Ti -

Ini' it seems that the unknown eolored man
was not satisfied, and went off and got his
gun and commenced advancing upon Toole,
who. seeing the situation, drew his pistol, and
both parties fired at tlie same time. Toole
escap'd injury, but the pistol shot killed his

gular piece from the centre of the' lower lip
clear through to the gums. Eaeh side of
thi- triangle measured about one ineh. The
parts were then drawn together and closed by
the insertion of three silver pins, after which
the flesh was stitched together. The patient

SAXDEBSVII.LiE NOTES.
Improved Condition of the Crops—New
Railways.
Sakdek&villk, Ga,, August 10.—A
heavy rain-storm prevailed here for some
hours on the Bth inst., accompanied by
strong winds from the Northeast, but no
damage was done. This morning is fair,
bright, warm and balmy, and vegetation
of all kinds seems to have taken anew
and vigorous growth. During the drought
of last month there were many direful
predictions as to the yield of crops, but
now that the showers have cooled off the
earth and air, the fears of the alarmists
seem somewhat assuaged, and it is gener
ally conceded that with moderately fav
orable seasons, fully an average crop of
cotton will be made, and that while corn
lias leen cut off considerably from the
yield promised in .ftlne, yet enough will
be made to supply the wants ot the coun
ty for another year, for it must be re
membered that the crop of 1883 will be
largely supplemented by the remainder of
the crop of 1882.
The county, and particularly Sanders
ville, is greatly interested in the two new
| contempted railroads now being agitated,
viz.: the narrow gauge from Augusta to
j Sandersville, and the Sandersville, Sparta
i anil Union Point, the terminus of eaeh
being at this jKiint.
The artesian well is at a standstill. The
i original company, coni|>osed of private
citizens, having exhausted a fund of
SI,OOO jn a futile effort, have now given
the city authorities all their machinery,
I piping, etc., and the City Council is pro
[ eeeding quietly to gather information, sp
that should the next attempt result in
failure it will not lie at the loss of the city.
It is to lie regretted that the generous gen
tlemen who expended their means in the
first effort did not proceed more cau
tiously.
The Teachers' Institute was ojiened
here on Ist inst. with Prof. Zettler, of -Ma
con, as principal, assisted by Prof. Mc-
Laugblip, of Talbotton. It is surprising
! how few avail themselves of this great
privilege and benefit. Only seven white
teachers were present at the opening and
not more than three or four have entered
since.
On the 31st ult. the county lost one of
her best citizens in the death of dared E.

Mr. Whiddow was a thorough-going, en

Utica, N. Y., August 10.—William
Henry Ostrander was hanged here at 10::i0
o’clock this morning for the murder of his
brother, George Lyman Ostrander, De
cember 26, 1880, near West Camden.
When upon the scaffold he did not want
any one to pray for him. Prayer
was offered, however, after which
Ostrander spoke for three or four
minutes in a rambling manner,
asserting his innocence, saving that he
had not had a lair trial, and denouncing
the people of the county for hanging him.
He was frequently profane and obscene,
and ended by saying with an oath: “But
as to hanging me, you can do it. Life is
of no good to me.” He was pronounced
dead in twelve minutes. His neck was
not broken by the fall. Before the execu
tion he told his spiritual adviser that lie
did not forgive liis relatives, and would
notask God to forgive him.

THE STRIKE ALMOST ENDED.
Siffiis of Weakness Among the Opera
tors Apparent Everywhere.
New V ork, August 10.— It is stated on
good authority this morning, that the
striking telegraphers last night practi
cally decided to abandon the strike.
It was rumored to-day that a committee
of the strikers had lieen appointed to con
fer with President Eckert, of the Western
l nion telegraph Company, and ascertain
upon what terms the company would re
ceive them back in its employ. It was
stated that this movement was to be in
dependent of the Hrotherhood. The story
was emphatically denied by many
strikers, who say that they never had
greater confidence in their leaders, and
that there are no such indications of
weakness as tlie rumor would imiilv
Superintendent Ilumstone, of the'West
ern Union Telegraph Company, said this
morning that the wires had not been dis

working satisfactorily. Two operators
returned to work tiiis morning, and sev
eral applicants have been rejected. He
also Siiid that, although it had been re
ported that the strikers had voted to go on
with the fight at their meeting yesterday,
he had been informed that the leaders
had begun to lose courage, and told the
men to make what arrangements they
could, as "thejig was up.” However, he
could not vouch for the trnthof the story.
At the headquarters of the strikers a
committee, consisting of Messrs. 4>'Con
nor, Campbell and Orr, was in session all
the morning. They had little to say in
regard to the strike, hut expressed them
selves as well satisfied with the condition
of affairs. They said that they confidently
believed in the ultimate success of the
strike, and thought that the telegraph
companies were resorting to every ex
pedient to conceal their real condition.
Chicago, August 10.—The Western
inion officials this morning state* that
all the wires on the Pittsburg, Fort

have been torn off. The Brotherhood deny
all connection with wire-cut ing in this
city.
'he striking telegraphers here profess
to have received a dispatch from Master

were tilled, and there is no delay in trains.
INDIANA RANKS SUSPEND.
Their Doors Said to be Only Tcmpora*
rily Closed* However.
Indianapolis, Ixd., August 10.—Large
crowds were gathered around the First
National Bank and the Indiana Banking
Company an hour before the opening time
this morning. At 0:45 o’clock the doors
of both banks were still closed, and the
announcement was made that they would
not open for tub or three hours. The
Directors of the First National, with sev
eral large and influential capitalists of
the State, met at 8 o’clock this morning.
Indianapolis, August 10, 11 r. m.—
Both of the suspended banks remain
closed. The following notice is posted on
the door of the First National:
“The Board of Directors are ill session,
considering vvliat is be3t to be done, but
have not yet arrived at a conclusion.”
The Directors of this Dunk adopted a
resolution this morning to double the
stock of the bank to ssoo,uoo, in
stead of $400,000, provided a syndi
cate, headed by Messrs. Del’auw
and English, was formed to take
the management and controlling amount
of the stock. A paper was drawn up to
this effect which was signed by all the Di
rectors and stockholders present, and a
committee was appointed to get the con
sent of the stockholders not present. As
soon as this consent is completed it is un
derstood that new and strong parties will
come into the concern, that will make
it one of the strongest financial institutions
in the country. It may take a few days
to do tiiis aiid gather in the required
amount of currency, but it may be done
in a few hours. The other banks also
held meetings tiiis morning and agreed
that if the proposed syndicate was formed
they would afford ail assistance to the
First National that might be required,
it may be said, therefore, that whilst it
is unfortunate that the trouble occurred,
there is really no reason for alarm, and
that ultimate good may result from it in
giving tiie bank renewed strength.
Very little information has been ob
tained as to what the Indiana Banking
Company may do, lint it is probable that
they wili be able to resume also in a very
short time. There bas been no extraor
dinary demand on any of the other banks
for funds to-day.

CROPS OF THE NATION.
THE AUGUST REPORT OF THE
AGRICULTURAL BUREAU.
Cotton Prospects Not Very Encourag
ing—Georgia Reported the Most Acute
Sufferer Numerous Reports of the
Caterpillar’s Presence—Corn Improved
—Spring AVlieat in Good Condition.
Washington, August 10.—The follow',
ing is a synopsis of the August report of
the Agricultural Bureau: The August
cotton returns to the Department of Agri
culture an* less favorable than those of
July. The condition is lower in every State
except two on the northern border of the
belt. Iu Virginia and Tennessee the plant
is suffering from meteorological vagaries
of this peculiar season. It was too cold
in May, too wet ill June and too dry in
July. In Georgia the injury is the great
est, the condition falling from 03 to 78.
In South Carolina the decline has
been from til to 80. The prolific
cotton belt of Middle Alabama
has suffered severely from drought,
while the southern counties and the val
ley of the Tennessee have had seasonable
weather. The upland counties of Central
and Northeastern Mississippi report in
jury from drought very general. There
is need of rain in Central and Southern
Texas, hut the drought has been less geu.
era I and injurious than in Georgia. There
has been ample rain in a large portion ot
the Louisiana cotton district, and in
nearly all the cotton counties m Florida.
In Tennessee generally, and in a majority
of the North Carolina counties where
the drought has been severest, the
fields, stimulated by commercial fertil
izers, are fruiting the top crop prema
turely, and the plants are drying up as is
usually the case under the circum
stances. The general average of the con
dition has fallen to Hi trout !)0 in July.
The record stands hv States: Vir
ginia 87, North Carolina 87,
South Carolina 80, Georgia 78,
Florida 03, Alabama S3, Mississippi 85,
Louisiana 85, Texas 80, Arkansas 83, and
Tennessee 90. Reports of the presence of
caterpillars are numerous on the Gulf
Coast States. Central Alabama is in
fected more seriously than Texas and
Georgia, and Louisiana more than Mis
sissippi. They are not reported in Vir
ginia, tlie Carolinas, Tennessee or Arkan
sas. The first brood are tvehhed up and
in some places the second, and fears are
expressed of serious injury from the third
brood. Tons of arsenic, in various forms,
are applied to avert such a calamity.
The boll worm is only reported at a few
points in Arkansas and Texas, while the
relative condition of cotton, compared
with the returns of former years, is un
promising. The volume of the crop de
pends largely upon the more critical
period from August to October.
'I here lias been an improvement in the
appearance of the cornfields during the
mouth of July in New England,
the Middle States, the Ohio valley
and west ol tile Mississippi. In Illinois,
Missouri and Kansas it is slight, being
measured by a single point. There has
been a retrograde in the South, in conse
quence of the drought and some dregs in
Michigan from too much moisture. Tak
ing the whole area together, the condition
has advanced from kk to 89 per cent, of a
perfect crop. The condition of the census
crop (1879) iu August was 99, and the
yield was twenty-eignt bushels per acre.
The present returns indicate a yield of
n t over twenty-five bushels
l>er acre or 1,700, 000,000 bush
els, which is as much as was pro
duced in 1879. The condition is six
Points higher than last year in August
and lower than in any August from ls7o
to 1880 inclusive. The nights have been
too cold for rapid development and the
crop is late. Fears are expressed that
frost may yet cause disaster. 111 August,
1874, the condition was one degree higher
than the present average, the crop is
late from the wet spring and local
summer droughts, and the yield less than
21 bushels per acre. The
averages of the States of principal
production are: Illinois sti, Indiana
95, Ohio 89, Michigan. OH, Kentucky 97,
Missouri 83, Kansas 97, lowa K 5, Nebras
ka 84, Wisconsin 85, New York 90, Penn
sylvania 99, New Jersey 101, Virginia
93, North Carolina 83, South Carolina 70,
Georgia <4, Alabama 80, Mississippi 87.
Louisiana 100, Texas 93, Arkansas 87,
Tennessee 89.
The aventge condition of spring wheat
for August j was 09.7, the same as in
1882, but higher than for any previous
August since 1877. in Wisconsin recent
rains have injured the crop in the south
ern and southwestern counties. The aver
age is 99. The prospect in Minnesota
favors a crop of 13Vj bushels per acre,
notwithstanding had weather in the
early spring and subsequent drought in
northern counties. The condition is 98.
The fears excited by the excessive heat
early in July in Northern Dakota have
been happily dispelled. Cass and Rich
land counties promise a better yield
than last year. The other counties
will scarcely equal their last record. In
8011th Dakota tlie harvest is progressing.
The straw is bright, the heads are large and
the yield better than last year. The re
turns of August do notessentiailv change
the indicated aggregate of July for the en
tire crop. The result of the harvest will
he more fully tested on the return of the
threshers’ blanks. It is now certain that
a shortage exists which will require till
the surplus of last year and keep prices
well sustained.
The condition of oats is represented by
too, a figure only surpassed by last August
since 1878. North of the parallel of 40
deg. high condition is almost universal.
111 some western districts there has been
injury from Ridging, tlie result ot storms.
'I lie condition of barley averages 95,
the same as in August, 1882, but higher
than in any previous year since 1874. The
average for New York is 102, Pennsylva
nia 97, Ohio 80, Michigan iHi, Wisconsin
96, Minnesota 96, lowa 99, Nebraska 102,
and California 88. These States produce
more than two-thirds of the crop.
.1 he returns indicate a full development
ol the potato crop. The condition is 101.
The promise is better in the Central States
ot the West than on tlie Northern border,
where the soil has been saturated w itli
moisture.
A breadth of buckwheat equal to that
of last year lias been sown, and its con
dition is high, being represented by 90.
The average crop condition of tobacco
is 88, Kentucky 93, Tennessee 89, Vir
ginia 74, North Carolina 70, Ohio 93,
Pennsylvania 90, Connecticut 87. and
Wisconsin 90.
A cable dispatch received from the Ixm
don statistical agent of the department
says that the weather lias been unsettled
during the first ten days of August and
the temperature low for this time of the
year. The wheat market is advancing
and stocks are large. The quality of the
new crop is lair. The general prospects
ot last month's dispatch are confirmed.
Counting the decrease in the acreage, the
total output of European wheat w ill tie
one-fifth loss than last year and one-tenth
below the average.
German, French and Russian advices
are worse.

ENGLAND CHOLERA SCARED.
A Democratic Conference at Cape May,
amt Other Washington News.
Washington, August 10.—From the
dispatches which reach this country by
cable the English authorities appear in
the role of not being at all afraid of the
cholera getting a foothold in their tight
little island. They make light of the sub
ject. But they are afraid. I>r. Hamilton,
Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital
Service, to-day received documents which
tell the tale. These are copies of the regu
lations issued by the English health
authorities. They are the most stringent
that were ever by any body of health
men. Their enactment will make it all
but impossible for any vessel hailing
from a cholera port to enter and clear any
harbor in the United Kingdom. And be
sides there have been issued a circular of
instructions to all people containing in
formation as to what should he done to
prevent cholera getting a foothold any
where. It would appear from this that
in England as well as here, the doctors
put on a good face before a threatened ep
idemic, and while pooh-poohing the idea
that there is any danger, work as it the
disease was liable to spread at any
moment.
u is reported in the cape may
correspondence of one of the city papers
that there is soon to lie a gathering there
of a number of leading Democrats. The
general object of the gathering is said to
he to confer together as to the future
of the party. It is, however, reported
here that the gathering is to have for its
main purpose the furthering of the idea
that Mr. Tilden could he elected again,
and perhaps that it wouid he a verv good
thing to run the old ticket again, that
there are no tew men who hanker after the
old ticket is an apparent certainty. But
as yet no men who wield any great influ
ence in the party have gone into the
movement. Most of those who have were
closely connected with Mr. Tilden in
1876, and thoroughly identified with the
policy then pursued by him. The Cape
May conference is probably for the pur
pose ol feeling the public pulse as in that
regard. As Mr. Henry Watterson, of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, is to he of the
conference one thing is assured. The
conferees wont have any dull time of it.
predictions ark made
here by those whose business it is to
w'atch and work for publications devoted
to commercial news that this summer and
fall will see many failures, especially
among national hunks. They say that the
recent big Barlow failure in Vermont is
the forerunner of a number of others of a
similar if not so extensive a character.
The predictions ventured are based upon
information which those who make them
say they have that a large number of
banks are carrying too much railroad
paper, and that things have about reached
such a crisis that a pretty general smash
among them is inevitable. Of course,
hank failures will interfere with other
business pursuits. On the w hole, to be
lieve the Washington pessimists, the
business future is one big black cloud.
everybody of course remembers
Mr. W. K. Rogers, the amiable and vis
ionary private Secretary to Mr. Hayes,
when the latter lived in the White House.
He dropped from the public view just as
soon as Hayes' time was up. Many in
quiries have been made for him. Many
people have wondered what had become
of him. Inquiries made at the White
House as to his whereabouts have inva
riably been answered by “we don’t know
where he is now.” I stumbled across him
to-day. He lives here, but might as well be
dead for all that is heard of him. He is
the same man. Very deliberate and im
pressive in his speaeh and very visionary
still. He has an office iu a private house
and comes and goes very quietly. He is
far from any part ot' the city where
business is transacted. He is as full of
schemes as ever. He lias great projects
now on hand—on paper. They include
several railroads (paper) in Mexico and a
big scheme for getting a draining con
tract from that government for an amount
of money almost fabulous. The railroads
are yet to lie built, and the contract is not
yet obtained, tint still Mr. Rogers is ap
parently as happy as if they were, lie
talks as if he had untold millions. 1
really tielieve that he convinces himself
that ho is a millionaire. He is as happy
as the day is long if he can tret any one to
listen to liis talk of how he is going to
make money-millions of it. He is a Col.

The Leaders of the Revolt Embark on
a Transport—The King and Queen
Royally Recived by Madrid—The Sit
uation far from Reassuring—Martial
Law Declared at Madrid.
London, August 10.—The correspou
dent of the Times at Madrid says that the
insurgent Spanish soldiery assert that
they have been deceived, doubtless by
agents of Senor Ruiz Zorilla. who have
been for a long time past tamjiering with
the lower grades of officers in the army
in various parts of the peninsula. All
classes of people condemn the outbreaks,
including the writers on Republican
newspapers.
A dispatch to the Local News Agency
from Lisbon announces that to-day a tele
gram was received from the Spanish fron
tier saying that the situation is most
grave. Bands of armed men have marched
to the North, their object, it is presumed,
being to concentrate at some selected
point for a combined movement.
Particulars of the revolt of the Spanish
garrison at Leo de Lrget, in the province
of Lerida, Spain, show that it was headed
by a Lieutenant-Colonel. The outbreak
occurred at 4 o’clock Thursday morning.
The civil guards were not molested bv the
insurgents, and remained in their bar
racks. The rebels expelled the military
Governor of the town.
The Daily News jn its financial article
says that in consequence of the rebellious
outbreak in Spain frustrating great bull
operations in Spanish stocks by Madrid
speculators various dealers and bankers
in both Madrid and Paris are left with
claims for uncovered differences amount
ing to about £200,000.
A dispatch to Reuter's Telesraph Com
pany irom Barcelona says: “Ten battal
ions of infantry and six battalions have
been sent to Leo de Urget to suppress
the revolt there. Great agitation prevails
here, and the situation is serious. A slight
revolt took place among the prisoners in
the penitentiary in the city of Santander,
but it was promptly suppressed. The
Governor of Santander has 250 gend
armes in readiness lor action in case the
garrison revolt. General Quesado occu
pied the principal strategic points in the
province of Leagons, where two reported
emissaries of Don Carlos have been seen.
, Madrid, August 10.—The King and
Queen of Spain returned to Madrid this
afternoon from La Granja, their presence
in the capital being considered necessary
in view of the unsettled state of the king
dom. They were received at the station
by the Cabinet Ministers, many Senators
and Deputies and officers of all trades.
Both inside and outside of the station
there was a large crowd of people, who
cheered the King and Queen enthusi
astically.
Lisbon, August 10.—The leaders and
officers of Spanish insurgents, who were
interned in Portugal a few days ago,
have embarked on board a transport for
the purpose of leaving the country. As
they refused to go to Portuguese Island
in the Atlantic, they will lie landed at a
French or an English port, as they may
select.
Paris, August 10. —Le Telegraphe says
that a mob of workmen in the suburbs of
Barcelona cheered for the Republic to
day, and caused the closing of the facto
ries. They have gone in the direction of
Nalles and Bruch. Two regiments are
pursuing them.
It is reported that the garrisons in
Valencia and Lerida have revolted, the
former, it is said, fraternizing with the
people.
Outbreaks are feared at Gerona and
Filueras.
A telegram from Barcelona sent at 8
o’clock this evening announced that mar
tial law had been proclaimed there and
that the town was quiet. It also stated
that order had been restored at Leo de
Urget.
A South Carolina Health Resort.
Glenn Si’uings, S. C., August 7.—A1l
along the Air-Line (Richmond and Dan
ville Railroad) there are‘evidences of
drought. Corn and cotton look parched
and as if the crop would be short. I have
seen no watermelons growing, and have
seen few that have been gathered. If those
that are wasting in Southwest Georgia
were here they would doubtless sell readi
ly. _ The heat and dust were oppressive
while traveling, and the ride in a hack
from Spartanburg, S. C., to Glenn Springs
was an agreeable change. This watering
place is situated in the Piedmont section
of South Carolina, twelve miles south of
Spartanburg, and is a favorite resort for
people from all sections of the
South. The hotel and cottages are
situated in a beautiful grove of native oaks,
the spring being just far enough off for a
walk there and back to the hotel to give
one a good appetite for breakfast. Manv
physicians of high standing recommend
the water, and quantities of it are daily
shipped to different points. There are
over two hundred guests occupying the
hotel and cottages; and in addition to
playing billiards, ten-pins, dancing, etc.,
there are occasional readings, recitations
and some good music, which makes the
time pass agreeably. Messrs. Simpson
are model proprietors, and have attentive
and polite servants in their employment.
The number of guests and good humor
and contentment everywhere prevailing,
are evidences of the successful efforts to
give satisfaction to all. M. C. S.
How Judge Davis Saw the Yosemite.
San Francisco Chronicle.
The Hon. David Davis saw the valley
in a sensible fashion. Ilis immense avoir
dupois would not permit him to gad about
on a horse’s back, so he drank in the
scenery from the porch of his hotel, while
his more ambitious spffuse “did” some of
the commoner points in the valley. The
only alloy to Mr. Davis’ enjoyment, so
far as I could learn, was the persistency
of one Harris, a man who, among other
privileges, is running carriages in the
valley and charging exorbitant rates.
This fellow fastened on to Mr. Davis, as
he does to others, and tried to tease him
into riding about the valley. He contin
ued his importunities until'lie was shaken
off' by a severe rebuke from the ex-Sena
tor. No person who dislikes being swin
dled should patronize the carriages in tho
valley so long as the present rates are
charged. The committee are guilty of
gross negligence in allowing this abuse to
go unchecked.
