A Maniac Left at the Poor-House.
Yesterday a negro woman was brought

ation in that vicinity, was called upon by

fully justified the assembling of ull good

Escape of a Prisoner from a Ralllff.
8ouio vIiuh ngo Daniel Wilkeraon was
placed iu jail, on n honch warrant, charg
ing him with a misdemeanor—some diffi
culty at Mr. Britton’s, a few miles from
tho city. Yesterday Mr. Britton sued out
a peace warrant. This was placed in the
hands of W. 8. McMicbacl, special bailiff
to tho County Court. He says ho knew
nothing of the bench warrant. Sheriff
Ivey, “convinced a man confined ou a
bench warrant could not l»o taken out
by a psaco warraut, sent wurd, being
unable lo see tbe bailiff at the
time, to Jailor Johuson, not to deliver
the prisoner. He was absent, however,
and his wife gave the prisoner in charge
of the bailiff. Tho officer did not dream
Wilkersou would attempt to escape, as he
was in his shirt rlooves, and the offence
was not of a very serious character. Tho
prisoner wauted to secure tho logal ser
vices of Col. Thornton, and McMichael
carried him to his ofiioo. Mr. Grimes
(Thornton’s partner) thought the Colonel
was in an adjacent office, upon
the same iloor, iu the second
story. McMichael allowed Wilkeraon to
look, while ho conversed a few secouds
with Mr. G. on business. When he
sought his prisoner ho found he had va
moosed—taken leg bail aud departed.
Vig.laut search to durk failed to discover
his whereabouts. Tue officer swears he
•Rill catch him. Bailiff McMichael is, we
believe, a good, industrious aud conscien
tious officer. Such a mishap, we are con
fident, will uot ocour again.
River Sews—Fatality on Flint River-
Two Negroes Drowned.
Capt. George Moore, of the steamer
Farley, telegraphed from Fort Gaines that
Win. Page, steward, and Tony Dennis,
deck hand, both colored, fell overboard
in Flint river aud wero drowned. No
further particulars are given. The ne-
groos are both from Golummts. It is pre
sumed the affair occurred in the night.
Tbe steward is reported to havo been a
very good sorvnnt.
We learn from tho sarno telegram that
the Farley left Fort Gaines yesterday at 2
p. m , with sixty-five halos of cotton for
Columbu9. She will bo at the wharf this
morning.
The boats cxpoct lo bring to Columbus
this season, fifteen to twenty thousand
bales of cotton.
Contract to Duild Averitt Bridge.
The Couuty Commissioners awarded it
last week to Mr. Gus Wright for $950.
He, however, upon further examination,
declinod tho job aud so notified the au
thorities. He could not complete tho
work for the money.
On yesterday tho Commissioners met
and awarded tho contract to Captain W.
A. Cobb for $1,350, his being the next
lowost bid. Ho has accepted. Tho struc
ture is to bo completed by tho 15th of
October. There wero ten bids, ranging
from $1,350 to $3,700. The bridge must
bo n good one, of heart timber, and built
in first-class style, or tho Commissioners
will not pay for it. Captain Cobb will do
the work well.

sioners for tho month of August: On chain

total, 14; discharged since, 2; on chain

1st, 1); received since, 10 ; total on baud,
11); sentenced ou chain gang, 2; dis

The Mercer Trustees Reject the 1‘lan.
The trustees of Mercer University, the
Baptist State College, located at Macon,
at a meeting iu Atlanta, on Thursday, de
cided not to accept the unification of
colleges plan proposed by the Governor
and others. This is tho second time tho
trustees havo rejected this offer. They
have a largo endowment, perhaps the
finest building in tho State, the institution
is largely attended, and they see no good
reason why they should merge with tho
State University and become a part of it.
Wc have our information from a trustee
who ut tended the meeting. Tho Metho
dists have also rejected the plan.
Lively Place.
The market-house, on Saturday after
noon, seema to bo the liveliest place in Co
lumbus. The supply of Sunday fresh
provisions aro then bought, and a goodly
number of people fill tho buildiogs. The
darkies gather in crowds around the wa
tertn'lon wagons below tho vegetable
stalls, and the whole scene presents an air
or bustling activity. It does one good to
see somebody stirring about in a jolly
business way.
Information Sought.
A man from the North has been here
for tho last few days seeking information
regarding a Mrs. Towles, who is reported
as h tving lived and died iu Columbus. It
is stated she came from New Jersey, and
a deed has been executed for a $5,000 lot
iu Newark. The deed is now said to be
a forgery. It purports to havo been
made in New Orleans, and it is alleged
the lady lived many yeurs and was buried
iu this place. The enquiry has been in
vain thus far.
—It is said that the tribe of Osago In
dians has boon reduced to a bob-tailed
pony, a cross-eyed squaw, and a Govern
ment agent. This is pretty severe upon
the tribe, but it is a very bandsom* for-
tuue for th* agent.
