At Jonesville recently James Branson, his family and a day laborer, becoming sick suddenly, it was suspected that their well had been poisoned. On examination four snake heads and a snake were found carefully tied together and anchored into the well. It is not known who did it. O. Y. Legg went into his large barn at Careker’s store, in Pike county, a few days since to feed his stock. When he had fed one mule he heard the barn giv ing way, and he to get them out of the large building. He had some difficulty in doing so. In less than three minutes the barn was amass of ruins. It was a very narrow escape for himself and stock. At Macon, while two voung negro girls were walking on .Mulberry street near the Methodist church, a negro named Ed. Lewis approached them and offered him self as their escort. The offer was re fused and Lewis became angry and picked up a brick which he threw at the girls, breaking the arm of one ot them. After trial by the Kecorder, fie was fined S2O. His employer paid the fine. S. W. Blackstone, of Columbia county, gives evidence of the possession of re markable mechanical talent.

Wright Professor of Anatomy. Marietta Journal: The telephone wire between Marietta and Atlanta is run on the telegraph polosalongsideof three tele graph wires. Now, it is something re markable that duplicates ot the telegrams passing over the telegraph wires drop down on to the telephone wire and are carried into the central office of the Tele phone Exchange here. The telegrams pass through the switch board on to the telephone wires around town, and into the stores and residences where there are telephones. Thus our citizens are kept in close communication with the com mercial world. The fluctuations of the Loudon Stock Exchange arc heard simul taneously through the telephones in our lttle city, although our citizens are per k'tly unconscious of the fact. V'apt.

Arlington correspondence News, June 3: The recent rains have been abundant, and the crops are looking well; the oat crop particularly has improved wonder fully, much to the delight of the farmers and their hungry stock. No corn has been snipped to this point this season, and it is very probable that none will be needed. Our merchants have a good deal of good sound corn on hand which they took in during the winter and spring, but which they cannot now dispose of at 65 cents, except in very small quantities.—The woods are lull of commercial travelers with samples of fall and winter goods. The cry is, “Who will buy ” Very likely some of the more enterprising will be around in a short time with samples for next spring stocks. There is nothing like taking time by the forelock.—Abe Blocker, the leader of a band ot negro ku-klux, who entered the house of some peaceable people last fall and killed an inoffensive boy, and who escaped from the guard after arrest, has been captured and is now in Morgan jail. The last grand jury found a bill of indict ment against him for murder, and the Governor offered a reward of $l5O for his arrest and return to the authorities. Cal houn Superior Court convenes next week, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that Abe will soon have an opportunity to follow those who have gone to glory from the gallows. Several weeks ago Mr. Newell, the con tractor building the artesian well at Quit man, struck a strata of very hard flint rock —so hard that with the most highly temper ed drills he could notgomore than one-halt to three inches per day. However, at that snail’s gait he went through, and suddenly his drill dropped about ten feet, and soon thereafter he discovered that he had reached a strong, bold stream, ten feet deep. He continued to go down, but encountered an even harder rook than above. He worked day after day and still with no success, and for three"weeks he did not go more than six inches. Seeing that no progress was being made the Council decide tojtry dynamite and made a trade with a Chattanooga expert to make the experiment. This party placed fifteen pounds of the explosive in the hole made by the drill, and then sent down a small cartridge to explode it, but the small one exploded when about half wav down and tore up the casing. This was straightened, nnd he was preparing to ex plode it by electricity when he was called home to a sick wife’s bedside. Dr. Snow and ex-Mayor Averett took up where the expert left off. They connected the bat tery, and a low distant rumbling sound was heard. The explosion had been made, and groat was the commotion. The houses, stores and shops for 300 yards around were shnken to their foundation— the whole town was shaken up, and the rock below was shattered. FLORIDA. Gainesville has fifteen brick stores. The grape crop at Waldo is said to be the best ever known there. Wild game is reported more plentiful in St. John’s county now than it has been for the last five years. The citizens of Dade City mot on May 26th and incorporated the town, elected their Mayor and Aldermen and a Marshal.

The first patent of 160 acres of land in Marion county, signed by the President, was recorded in the Clerk’s office at Ocala, Monday. It was for M. C. Rich. The name of the place hitherto known as Late de Funiak, on the Pensacola and Atlantic Road, has been changed and will lu future be called De Fuuiak Springs. Gov. Perry paid his city taxes at Pen sacola last Monday, every cent in money, notwithstanding he held coupons with which he could have paid a part if not the whole. The pilots of Key West have received orders from the Pilot Commissioners to reduce their fees on certain classes of vessels. The pilots are awfully mad and threaten to fly into the courts for redress. Facts for Farmers. FLORIDA. The strawberry crop at Ocala is ex hausted. The first shipment of Irish potatoes and onions from Ocala brought from $6 to $s per barrel in New York. The recent rains have given the crops in Gadsden county a good start, and now everything is growing rapidly. The 17-Year Locust. Among my reminiscences is one that seems to contradict the theory of the regu lar appearance of the “17-year locust.” Anno domini 1824-25 found me at school at Dr. Rudd’s Academy, in Elizabeth town, N. J. The locusts appeared in one of those years, hut which 1 cannot exactly determine, but think it was in 1825, as the half dozen Georgian boys there told the Northern boys, who had jeered them on the election of John Q. Acjams over Mr. Crawford, that it was a visitation on the North for electing Mr. Adams over such “a brave man” as Gen. Jackson. About the same time another unusual ap pearance attracted our attention in a shower of small frogs, about half an inch in length. A heavy cloud poured its con tents over our part of tho city and ar rested two of us, who were recovering from fever and ague, from a proposed ride with our doctor’s wife in a carriage, hired for our benefit and at our cost wnen occa sion made it convenient for her to pay a visit in the country. We rode for a long distance over myriads of the little things, who strewed the road as thickly as ever l saw “fiddlers” on our sea beaches. How extensive the locust visitation was 1 do not know, but am very certain about that around Elizabethtown, now known as Elizabeth City, N. J. They may not appear all over the coun try at once, and.it 1 am right in my dates, they should have reappeared in New .Jer sey in ’42, ’56 and '76. R. W. 11. An Ex-Millionaire Lunatic. From the ytw York Sun. Perry Davis, the originator of the fa mous "Pain Killer,” has for the last fifteen years been an Inmate of the Mercer county almshouse. Davis Is a French man, nnd came to the United States years ago, and at once embarked in the busi ness of manufacturing and ■tiling his medicine, which be generally disposed of himself, hr traveling around the country with a team and n two-wheeled cart. Ho began to deal in financial speculation on a large scale, and failed. Ills affairs then Decs me much mixed up and the Sheriff finally sold his goods for debt. Davis dis appeared and was found several days aiterward roaming through the woods a lunatic. A large gash across hi* throat seemed to imply that he had made an attempt at suicide. After his capture be became morose and sullen. For two months at a time he would not speak a word, und then would only talk of his earlv history. One of bis peculiarities is that" ho will never take medicine under any circumstances. Of late be has begun to exhibit signs of insanity. SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1885. LEON COUNTY’S AIM. Railroad Connection With the Savan nah. Florida and Western to be Se cured at Once. Tallahassee, Fla., June s,—At a meeting ot the citizens of Leon county, in Tallahassee, June 2, 1665, a commit tee of three citizens—namely: Edward Lewis, John Bradford and D. W. Gurynu —was elected and constituted a board of trustees and authorized to receive dona tions of lands, moneys and other proper ties, to be used in building a railroad from Tallahassee to some point on tho Savannah, Florida and Western Rail road, in Southern Georgia, and also to contract for the location, construction and equipment of said road. This seems to be the most practical and important : step yet taken in regal’d to the building ' of this short line, which would unite tho : railroad systems of Georgia and Florida, and thus bring this most favored portion of Florida within more direct and speedy communication with Savannah and the eastern markets. This section of Florida i has always patronized Savannah merchants and business men, and the | erection of this connecting link now would ; secure to Savannah the trade which natu rally belongs to her. hut is now being at \ traded to Jacksonville and New Orleans because of the more direct means of oom j munication with those cities. The people j of Leon county, Fla., and Thomas county. On., recognizing the substantial and immediate benefits to be derived irom the construction of this line are subscrib ing lauds and money liberally, and the prospects are that sufficient funds will soon be raised to insure the j building of it. The citizens are doing their whole duty in the matter, aud will heartily support capital Irom abroad used in this important enterprise. This line will be a profitable one from the begin ning, as it will have a large and fertile ! territory irom which to draw support; i the large cotton, lumber and stock-rais ing interests along the proposed route will improve and increase from the mo ment the work is commenced on the road. Besides this link would bring Georgia, and particularly | Southern Georgia, in intimate relations with tho large coast trade which naturally seeks an outlet at St. Mark’s. Tne St. Mark’s Road to Tallahassee is in good con dition, and it only remains to build the thirty miles which would conneot it with the South Georgia system. The trustees appointed for this important work are among the very best business men in the State, and they possess the entire confi dence of the people. W. THE SIEGE OF CARTAGENA. Barbed Wire an Directive Military De fense—Tlie Brice of Cat*. Xew York Tribune Letter. Cartagena, May 16.— Philip, of Spain, looking westward from nis palace win dows at Madrid one evening at sunset, re plied to an inquiry of one of his courtiers that he was trying to see those walls of Cartagena which had cost so much money. “I am sure,” said the King, “that they must be of silver, and will re flect the setting sun.” President Nunez has reason to be grateful to the royal Philip tor building those same walls so high and strong, for after a siege of three months the rebel army of Gytan has retired discomfited and baffled from the attempt to take the city. Ad miral Jouett, with tho flagship Tennessee, arrived here on May 13. He was accom panied by the Alliance, the Powhatan being already here. The Admiral had been so successful in his efforts to arrange matters between the rebels and the gov ernment troops at Panama without blood shed that he brought Gen. Reyes down here to meet commissioners from the rebels who should arrange terms of sur render, for it was known that the rebels desired to give up the fight if they could make terms advantageous to themselves. The isthmus and tne interior being in the hands of the national forces, the rebels had been making great efforts to get into Cartagena in order that they might hold it as a place to treat irom. On the night of May 7, Gytan mustered all his forces for a irenera! and final assault on the city. His fleet of five armored steamers and a bark moved up as near the city as the obstructions would allow, and op'ened tire. The fleet was command ed by an American soldier of for tune "named Eckert. About midnight Gytan landed 2,500 men on the beach back of the city, and made a rush lor the walls, which "at that point were no; more than fifteen feet hign. The at tack was intended to be a surprise, and the men swept up the beach rapidly and 1 silently. They were in double line of bat tle, the first being provided with scaling ladders. One wing was led by the de- stroyer of Colon, Pedro Prestan. Along the ramparts not a light was seen and not a sound was heard. The attacking party was within a few yards, indeed a part of it was within a few ffietof the walls when tho first line struck some lines of barbed wire which had l>een stretched along the beach, and became tangled up in it. Across a narrow causeway leading straight up to the walls no wire had been stretched, and along this causeway those who were not entangled in tho wire poured in a solid column. Instantly 100 locomotive headlights flashed out along the ramparts and a Gutting gun, trainod full on the causeway, opened its murder ous fire. A thousand rifles and several pieces of artillery opened tire at the same time. Thirty ol the attacking party scaled the walls and were made prisoners. The rest fled precipitately or lull dead where they stood. On the causeway and en tangled in the barbed wire dead bodies lay thick when the sun rose next morn ing. In killed, wounded and prisoners the rebels lost ’IOO men. Gytan witndrew the remnant of hie torees to the Impregna ble fort of ban Phiiipe, and on the morn ing of May 13 embarked on his flotilla lor Barranquiila. The first gun that was fired against tho city of Cartagena was fired by Eckert. The last gun that was tired from the city on Jlay 7 killed him. As Gytan was steaming out ol tbe Boco Chico he met Admiral Jouett coming in. The Admiral sent for him to come aboard tbe flagship. He came, surroundeu by his chiefs, but not accompanied by Pres tan. That rebel and incendiary, he said, was at Barranquiila. Tbe Admiral told him that the entire country was in tbe hands of tbe national troops. If he went to Barranquiila and continued tbe tight be would cause tbe death ol many people and the loss ot much property, but would in a short time be compelled to surrender and be at the mercy ot bis conquerers. If be surrendered now he would get bonor ablv terms. Gytan said be would goto Barranquiila and send back commis sioners empowered to arrange terms with (Jen. Ree. So here we are now. waiting for the commissioners, who aro expected to bo boro to-morrow. When tbe force* of Gytan raised the siege of Cartagc-ua tbe inhabitants were on the verge of starvation. Cats were selling at $5 apiece in the market tbe morning we arrived here. Santo Domin go Vila was not captured by the rebel* as was reported, but escaped to the In terior and joined the national army which was moving to tho relief of Cartagena. This army, 4,000 strong, i now within a day’s march of the city. in regard to tnu present wt-teol affairs at the Isthmus it is tbe opinion of every olio that every Atncricnu sailor and marine who possibly can go home should go. The government troops are lully able to take care of tue transit and the remo val of tbe American troops would not only be acceptable to Colombians, but would save tbe lives of tbe troops them selves. KNOW THYSELF, by reading the “Sci ence of Life,” the host medical work ever published, tor young sad middle-aged met, MR. VILAS’ GOOD SHOWING. Over *133,000 Already Saved Per An num in Bis Department. From the Washington Post. Good business principles, and an honest and pure administration ol public atlairs have already begun to work wonderful changes in the Post Office Department. The work of reform instituted by the present government is spreading liko a leaven through all the tranches of the de partment, and the result will be a saving of hundreds of thousands of dollars of the public money without any decrease in its efficiency or the quality ot its ser vices. Considerable attention has re cently been paid to tho improvement of the mail service, and it has been found that on many routes large amounts of money have been paid rather as subsidies to various companies than as proper re muneration for the conveyance of the mails. New contracts have been made, better service has been secured,the useless and unnecessary expenditures have been cut oft', and $45,666 have been saved in the annual expenditures of this division alone. All this has been accomplished with>n the last two months. In other divisions almost equal savings have been made. Postmaster General Gresham, in awarding the contract for envelopes—not lor departmental purposes, hut merely for the use of postmasters in sending in their monthly returns—selected an enve lope made from a paper almost equal in its fineness and thickness to Irish linen paper. Postmaster General Vilas insti tuted searching inquiries among the pa per mills and at last found an envelope fully equal in strength and usefulness, but with not so much gloss and shine upon it, and made a contract saving over $42,000 a year. The quality of tne postal cards has been much improved, and here again, notwithstanding this fact, another saving of over $7,000 has been effected. When the contract ior the supplying of postage stamps was being considered, the Postmaster General gave the matter his personal and careful attention. He had a number of specialists before him, and went through all the pros and cons of steam printing and band printing. By the latter process all the tine workof first class engraving is performed. But, he argued, tho peculiar shading only to be produced by the hand process, although noticeable in larger engravings, Is not apparent in so small a thing us a postage stamp, and this being the case, an ordinary printer would be engaged to do the work for which a first-class price is paid. He had 500 sheets of stamps struck off by steam printing, under the eye ot an inspector, and, laving them side by side with some done bv hand, he in vited several gentlemen well able to judge to select which they thought were the better stamps. They invariably chose those printed by steam, and accordingly the contract was made for that kiud of stamp. lie is convinced that the people will say it is better than tne old one. By this means a further saving of $33,000 was made yearly. Already, "then, in the first quarter of the first year of the Democratic reform gov ernment about $133,00*1 has been saved to the public in the yearly expenses of this department. In four years this will amount to over half a million dollars. But this will not he all. Further changes will soon be made which will increase this splendid total. The postal inspecting service will be improved by the introduction of new and better men aud the weeding out of the disreputable members of it. The com mission which was appointed some time ago to examine into the affairs oi this di i vision has been devoting itself energeti cally to its work, and within a short time an examination of the Inspectors will be held. MURFREESBORO’S CREAMERY. How Milk Is Converted into Butter and Cheese by Stesm. From the yaehnilU A merican. The Stone’s River Creamery Company is now getting 4.000 pounds of milk per day, from wnich are made 166 pounds ol butler and 280 pounds of cheese. The butter for the most, part is shipped to At lanta and sold at 32cents per pound. The company has an engagement to furnish 700 pounds per week to parties in that city. The price of cheese is 10 cents per pound, but it will probably be reduced to 8 cents. The price paid for milk is cents per gallon. This will probably be reduced to 8 cents during the summer months. The entire cost of the plant was $5,200, including a steam engine and other nec essary fixtures. To separate the cream from the milk a Daniel Weston separator is employed. This operation is performed as soon as the milk is brought in from the country. A large Blanchard churn, with a capacity of 200 gallons, run by steam power, makes the butter. Four pounds of butter and seven pounds of cheese are made from every 100 pound* of milk, making the daily output of butter 16 ) pounds and of cheese 280 pounds. At piesent prices this reaLz-ss76 20per day. Only two persons, including the fireman, are employed. It is estimated that $4 per day will cover the cost of labor. The other expenses are butter tubs, cans ior milk, cheese cloths and boxes. It is esti mated that six cents on every 100 pounds of milk will cover these expenses. Making the estimate on the daily sup ply of 4,000 pounds of milk, the following statement will show the daily profit: I*o pounds butter at 32 rents ssl 2) 2SU pounds cheese at 10 cents 2s 00 Total value of products $79 20 From which deduct— Cost of milk 60 00 Labor 4 no Incidental expemea 2 to Intercut on plant at 10 percent 1 42 $67 Si Daily net profit . sll3B There 1* No I’aln Like Toothache!
