The Chattahoochee river steamer Ellis hs not been raised yet, though her ma chinery will all be saved. Two neirresses met sudden ends at Americus Saturday. One being dead in hed and the other dropping lifeless in a roadway. there is a spinning wheel in Midway I at Mrs. Martha Thomas spun upon 125 Tea rs atro, and it is in good order, all but the spindle, which has been lost. Eugene C. Beck, who shot his wife and j, er sister, aud who was convicted in Kahun county two months ago aud sen tenced to the penitentiary for life, has hem refused anew trial. Robb Hayes, a Paulding county planter, was instantly killed by an East Tunnes aee, Virginia and Georgia railroad train haturday, near Dallas. He was crossing a bridge when the train rushed upon him and ground him to death. W. K. Jackson, the alleged defaulting money order clerk of the Americus post office, is still in the Bibb county jail, he having failed to make his bond. He is in good health aud bright spirits, and de clares that he is certain of acquittal. .1. A. Rounsavllle, ot Rome, is a stew ard in the Methodist church, and has made a record as such, the past year, perhaps, unequaled in the aunals of southern Methodism. He had on his list ol members to collect from about thirty names. The amount assessed these thirty members aggregated $l,lBO. Of this amount becollected $1,470. Athens Hamer-IVutcliman: It seems that our informant in regard to the Jug Tavern tight got the cart before the horse, and it was the Jefferson boys that got licked instead of the Ben Smith crowd. From a gentleman who saw the beginning and ending of the fight, we learn that the Ben Smith warriors held the field and the Jackson county boys came off the battle ground in a dilapidated condition. Between 40 and 50 suits have sprung out of a case between Walker and Perry, claimants, on a deceased negro’s prop erty, in the Eight hundred aud eighty second district of Schley county, which wiil be heard on the fourth Saturday in this month before Justices Singleta y and Wilkinson at Lacrosse. The defendant is a colored woman, widow of the de ceased. The whole district seems to have become excited aud hence the suits. The high cost of street paving to street car companies in Atlanta has been keenly lelt for some time, aud now bas the effect of causing Julius Brown and Judge Marshall Clark to sell out their stock and resign their directorships in the Metropoli tan .street railway of Atlanta. The long est line of this "corporation, traversing Fair street, which is only 20 feet wide, and when paved by the city, this company will be assessed to pay for just 11 feet. The Pinkerton detective agency has a representative in Atlanta. This repre sentative is a handsome and vivacious lady. She reached Atlanta Saturday night, and Sunday had a long conference with Chief Connolly. Her mission is being guarded with the greatest care, and all efforts of reporters to see her were useless. It is understood, however, that sue is pursuing a female sharper who victimized a Cincinnati diamond dealer to a heavy amount. There is a young negro man acting as porter in a cotton room in Atlanta who has the best university education. He construes Greek perfectly and often labels his cotton tickets in Greek characters. His classical education is fuller than that of any person in the building, and yet he can find nothing better to do than such work as a cornfield hand might expect to do. Out of bis class of perhaps thirty, all but two have dropped back into just such work as he is doiug. Near Rome Friday, while feeding his father’s gin, the 9-year-old son of W. P. Salmon had bis right hand fearfully lacer ated by the saws. The gin, at wbiehplace the accident occurred, is a self-feeder, but ou account of damp cotton became choked. The little fellow started to shako it, when one of his feet slipped through a hole in the floor. Throwing up bis band in an ef lort to catch hold of something, It came in contact with the saws, and the result was Ibe mangling of his hand fearfully, los ing three lingers, and having forty-dve Hitches taken in the palm. Saturday a 5-year-old negro boy, Earn est Jackson, was plavfng iby himself in yard of A. L. B ckwith’s place, in 6caleyounty. A chip lire had beeu burning there earlier in the morning, but had been smothered out, or covered over with chips. The little negro found this warm spot, and, it is supposed set down on it. V\ hen found, hi- clothing was burnt off and his flesh cooked to a crisp. He died that, night about II o’clock. After hts clothing caught tire he rolled all over the ground struggling to extinguish the flames, but did not succeed. A few davs ago, Moses Tison was plow ing an oat paich, three or four miles from Americus, aud while mentally speculat ing on mundane things, the earth sud denly opened, and his mute went down back ward into the hole. He had driven over a covered well, and the mule went in it. Ropes were procured, aud assist ance came in the shape of two or three then, the earth was dug down until the fore feet ot the beast were above the hole, nd the work of resurrection began. After a hard struggle, the mule was pull ed out, rolled over, the ropes taken off ol him. and then be got on his legs, shook himself, looked around at the men. then •'retching hi* neck, proclaimed his joy in bray that was heard several miles.

TRIMBLE RIGGERS. The Old Game Exposed—Jefferson *I.OOO Poorer After a Visit from Giles’ Circus. From the Athene (Ga.) Banner- Watehmetn. The old three-card monte game and the thimble trick has been exposed so often, it was thought that there was not a school boy in the country green enough to be caught by it. But from the amount of money won by the followers of Giles’ cir cus, it seems that all the fools are not dead yet. The principal game by which they fleeced the unsuspecting at Jeffer son, Harmony Grove, Carnesviile and other places, has been exposed a thousand tunes, and is as old as the hills. The man who opens the game has the half of three Eugiish walnut shells. Tnese shells are put down on a table, and a little ball about the size of a buckshot, is put under one of the shells, and then commences the work ot throwing the ball from one shell to another. A man who goes with the concern steps up, and without any trou ble raises the shell that covers the ball and picks up S2O for his trouble. This man is called a “capper,” and has an in terest in the game. Soon another “capper” comes up and uneflvers the little ball, and he, too, walks offapparently twenty dollars ahead. The unsuspecting countryman, seeing how easy it is done, tries his luck, but to his utter astonishment the little ball does not happen to be under the shell that he picks up, and he is minus twenty dollars, it is impossible to win at the game, as the twist of the wrist is quicker than the eye. These thimble-rig gers had a perfect harvest at Jefferson, taking away about SI,OOO. One man lost S3OO of his hard-earned money. Another Jeffersonian, who w r as always considered “up to snuff,” won S4O. which was ouly thrown out as a bait, and he got caught tor his winnings and S4O besides. A great many of the Jackson county farmers are much wiser since the sharp er left, but are poorer In pocket. A Terror to Yankees. From the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution. In the winter of ’O4 business called mo for a few days to a small town in South ern Alabama, near the Florida line. At that time several hundred Confederates were stationed there, and the commander ol the post was one Col. Jepp,. The Fed erals were gradually advancing their lines, and their forces frequently crossed the Perdido river, which was about 10 miles below tbe village. This Col. Jepp. tbe post commander, was a character. When I first saw him he impressed me rather favorably. He was about 40 years old, 6 feet high, with a dark complexion, flashing eyes, and long black hair. He looked every inch a sol dier, and seemed to take little interest in anything outside of his military duties. In the course of a day or two I heard a good deal about him and bis peculiarities. The colonel went out one night with a scouting party. In the morning l heard of the expedition, and learned that six federate had been surprised and captured. Out of curiosity 1 inquired where the prisoners ware. A young lieutenant lauglunviy replied: “We lost them. When Col. Jepp gets anv prisoners, you know, he alwas loses them.” 1 understood the full import of these w oras. “So they were shot,” I said. “Yes, the colonel shot them himself.” I ventured to suggest that it was unu sual for an officer ot his rank to adopt the methods of gueri’las and bushwhackers, “Oh, its all right,” said the officer care lessly. “I wouldn’t do it myselt but I don't blame poor Jepp.” This remark puzzled me. Why should this man be privileged to butcher helpless prisoners? The next day there was another scout ing expedition, and when the soldiers re turned I heard that their commander had again distinguished himself. This time a Federal Lieutenant rode right into the Con federates and was captured before he un derstood the situation. lie was a handsome youth, and in his belt were two ivory handled revolvers. Hie captors relieved him ot his weapons, and after dismount ing him tied bis hands benind bis hack. Col. Jepp then directed the men to ride on down tbe road and leave him with the prisoner. A moment. later the soldiers heard a pistol shot and tue Colonel re joined them without the prisoner. “He lost him?” 1 suggested. “Yes, he lost him,” was the significant answer. “The colonel likes to catch Yan kees, but be is unlucky about bringing them to headquarters.” My comments upon Jepp’* high-handed and bloody methods were freely made and were rather bitter. On* of tne officers, with whom I bad struck up an acquaint ance, listened in silence and theu said: “Poor Jepp!” My interest was aroused, and I asked tor an explanation. “It is a short story,” said my com panion, “but Hit re fs a good deal in it. Youreco leet when Sherman made bis big raid through Mississippi. Well, the hor rors of that merciless march has never been thoroughly shown up. lu Sherman’s army were some of the vilest (leiperado.'* that ever wore a uniform. On the raid thsy burned, plunde.ed and inaltrea'ed non-combatants wuuout respecting either age or sex. lu their track lay the planta tion of Col. Jepp. I'nerc was nobody at home except Hie Colonel's mother, an old lady of 70. and a few faithful family ser vants. It Is almost impossible to believe it, but alter the main teidy of tbe troops had passed, a lew stragglers guit and the mansion and then burned It. They were about to leave when they saw old Mrs. Jepp looking on at the burning house with tears raining down her cheeks. The ruffians laid vtoleut hands on the feeble and frightenod woman, and asked her where she had concealed her money and jowslry. She protested that she had none except wnat bad been found In the house. What she said went for nothing. Tbe scoundrels tied her hands, stripped her to the waist and gave her forty lashes with a cowhide. The victim fainted under tbe terrible torture, but that was not enough. The robbers restored her to con sciousness aud bung her to a tree until she was black In the face. Then they let her down, and finding it impossible to learn anything from her one of the gang knocked her down, and they all rode off U “Can'such things be possibleP’l asked. “The story Is only too true. Well, air, when Jepp heard this he was like a maniac for a time. His mother died In a Tew weeks, and since then he has made it his business, night and day. to hunt and kill yankees. You may call this wrong. You may say the man is mad. Peritaiit SAV ANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. DECEMBER 15, 1885. he is, but he is the most useful man that coulu be found for this post. If It. wasn’t tor their mortal tear of him the yankees would cross (the I’erdido aud move on up here. As it is they regard him as a regular devil.” the next day I left the place, and saw no more of Col. Jepp. Two months later he was shot and killed on one of bis expe ditions by a federal rifleman concealed in a tree. An Atlanta Man Cured of Fits. From the Hartwell (Ga) Sun. Everybody about Hartwell knows John Dunn. John, although scarcely out of his teens, Is all of six feet in his stockings and has as good a stock of brawn and muscle as any riody of his age and size. Ho is a perfect specimen physically of the genus homo, and we doubt if a man In Hart can “homo” corn aud cotton than he. John gives a vivid description of his ex perience while in prison in Atlanta for an “infringement of the revenue laws,” which is but a delicate way of informing the public that he had been engaged in tbs moonshine business. After John had served his time, and was told to go and sin no more, he determined to stay one night iu the great Southern metropolis as a free mau. As John’s purse was rather depleted, ho began to search for a cheap boarding-house. A man referred him to a widow lady’s house, where be secured supper, lodging and breakfast, all fortho moderate charged 75 cents. The widow informid him that rob beries were frequent, and that if he had any money he had better give it to her for safe keeping. John handed over $7, the extent of his worldly affluence. John was put. in a room with several sinister looking individuals, and ho felt “sorter oneasy.” They wanted to put out the light at bed time, but John avowed be couldn’t see to sleep at night without a light, aud they let him have his way about it. John occupied a bed to himself, and the others another bed. One of them remarked that he was sunject to tits, and asked if be should have one in the night, for the crowd to catch him and hold him, to keen him from hurting anybody. John retired, but not to sleep. Visions of robbery and murder thronged his brain, and he got more and more “oneasv.” He kept one eye fixed with dread fascination on the other bed. Along about midnight he saw the quilts on tbe other bed suddenly begin to shiver and jerk, and all tbe men jumped out of bed, crying out: “He’s got a fit! He’s got a tit! Come and help us hold him!” Tue “titified” individualalsosprangout of bed, his eyes glaring amt teeth gnash ing, and grasping an ax that happened to lie in the room started toward John, who stood in the middle ol the room. John thought he saw through a dettly arranged scheme to rob him, and exclaiming: “That feller hain’t got no fit I” let drive with his sledge-hammer fist aud struck Fitz William on the nose, fell ing him to the floor. Fitz Pat rick tastily scrambled out of the room on ail-fours with a Fitz Hugh colored liquid flowing from his nostrils. John then slammed the door to and pick ing up the axe which Fitz Maurice had dropped, and placing his back against the door, quietly asked if any more of them were likely to have a tit. They all swore that they never had bad a fit in their lives. John told them that he had just $7 to bet that he could cure the worst case of fits in Atlanta in two seconds by the watch—no cure no pay. John was not further molested, but he says be has bad enough of the (Prison) Gate City. The First Alarms at Fort Morgan. From the America* (Ga.) Recorder. When the Madisou Rules first reached Fort Morgan, Ala., in April, 1881, they were not provided with tents, aud slept out on the white sand around the fort. There was an Irishman in the company named Authony Judge, as witty a fellow as ever hailed from old Erin. About 10 o’clock of the first night after arrival, while all the company except picket guards, stationed a mile off, were asleep, a stiff breeze sprang up and the loose sand drifted swiftly over tbe sleepers, ana soon had some of them covered. Anthony was the first to awaken and not seeing sll the forme of the sleeping men yelled: “Capt. Coltart! Captain! Wake up; a h—l of a shnow starm has ris, and the last mother’s son if ye will he entirely drowned if ye ain’t up.” The drummer heard the noise, beat the long roll, and in a few minutes it resounded in every camp around. The guards were doubled, com panies htirriea over tbe beach, but as it was feared Col. Hardee, who was then commandant there, would punish An thony he was never reported. Atout an hour later another yell was heard from the gulf side of the beach from one of the pickets, who had been posted while the tide was out. and ordered not to leave his post. The poor fellow had never been In eight of salt water before, and when the tide came rolling in. stood to h.s post. When tbe water bad risen to his waist, he commenced yell ing for the corporal , of the guard. The corporal was at the other end of the line, so the officer of the guard went to the call. He lound his man In water up to his neck, but still detei mined to stay until he was ordered back. lie said to the officer: “There bas been the a- biggest rain somewhere youns bas heard of; tbiscrik has ris twenty foot an hour.” tie was relieved and sent to camp. A Kcmarkable Town. From the Jacksonville (Fla.) Herald. The latest phase in the development ol WeUhton, tbe new and vigorous town on the Florida Southern Railway, is ol so in teresting and remarkable a character as to deserve editorial mention. Only two years ago Mr. John H. Welsh, of Erie, i’oiiusylvania, with some money in his poekot and some mortal warnings sounding iu hi* lunge, came to Florida a physical wreck, seeking to prolong a life ot which he hud already twice rend the obituary, lie purchased several tbousaud acres of land among the pines ol Man>>n county and set to work reso lutely. and after the usual ap proved methods to build a town. Within a year from the time of its pur chase, Welsbton was a village of several hundred inhabitants, with schools, oburches, saw-mills, a fine hotel and a handsome depot. Hix months ago the Lake Wyomi orange grove, the largest In tue world, was planted in it a suburbs. People nan in these developmeui* ouly the repetition of the history of many otaer bright Fmrida towns, and expected noth ing more ot Welshton for vpars to come. But the active founder <>f the town thought differently. Hinee his advent into Florida, ho has been revolving in his mind, the advantages ol a Swiss aud Ital ian immigration colony, and out of these lucubrations have culminated an arrange ment wuleh, upon Usually consumma tion, will make of Welsbton, one ot the phenomenal towns of the country, lifted at one bound of enterprise from a country hamlet, to a thriving city of (jjioi) people! l'ninli ot it, while we exolaln. Four prominent banks iu Italy and Switzerland team'd readily to a proposed scheme of extensive colonization In tide now world-famous Florida. Upou the boundary lines of Italy and Hwitzerland, in and around the provincial border town of Chaisso, lived a hardy and industrious class of tbe people ot both countries, industrious and thrifty, but poor enough to listen to propositions of change to an Eldorado aoross the sea. The banks formed a syndicate. Capt. $7. V. Conti, an Italian of prominence and energy, was made genera) manager of tbe Italian - Swiss - American Colonization Company, and on bis first landing In America mat with some of tbe friends of genial John Welsh, of Welshton, who oper.*(l up between them negotiations which were apecdlly brought to an event ful conclusion. By tlie tern* of th!a agreement. 138 of the Chaisso community have already ar rived and are comfortably settled at AVelshtou, and sending back glow ing ac counts to their native land. Four hun dred of their fellow countrymen from the same locality are already "embarked, and are expected to pass through Jack sonville on thefr way to the new town on Dec. 22. Eleven hundred and fifty have completed arrangements, se cured passage, aud will arrive in Janu ary. It is contracted by the e unpanv to land in VVelshton, by Aug. 1, 1,000 families front the Chaisso communi ty! As the Italians are a prolific people, the lowest average of each family w ill in clude six people, so that by every reason able certainty of tne fulfillment by u relia ble eompauy of a stipulated agreement, this town of Welsbtou, now numbering 300 people, will contain before fall a thrif ty , working population of 6,000 souls! The foreign syndicate pays the full transportation aud other expenses of each of these people for three months after their arrival here. Capt. Conti bas purchased from Capt. W'elsii 2,300 acres ot excellent pine land for $03,250, and these new settlers are to be located upon it. They will not engage in the growing of oranges. They will begin, first, tbe cultivation of vegetables, and collaterally the cultivation of grapos, in both of which they are thoroughly skilled. Uis hoped that at the end of three months their intelligent culture of vegetables will ntako each family self-supporting. The company will derive its profit from a subsequent sale to each family of the lands on which they are settled, and on a percentage of their earnings until they are able to buy. It will make a vineyard aud vegetable Italy of this portion of Ma rion couuty, and make Welshton at a bound the fourth city in population in the State. Uncle Ish. From t he Hartwell (Ga.)
