that was mailed to him from Glascow March 5
and was on the steamer Oregon which was
wrecked off Fire Island March 14, 1886. A few
days ago a mail pouch that was on the steumer
Oregon was found ou the beach near Cape Hat-
teras, having drifted nearly four hundred miles.
The letter was probably in that pouch.

Death of Colonel Holt.
p, Colonel Pulaski 8. Holt died at his late resi
dence, 129 Orange street, at half-past three
o’clock yesterday afternoon.
Colonel Holt was born in Hancock county in
April. 1797, and was consequently eighty-nine
years old. He was the oldest lawyer in the state,
he and the late^John P. King, of Augusta, having
hejd the two oldest licenses. His life was an in
teresting one. With his father he lived in Fort
Wilkinson, in Baldwin county, long before Fort
Hawkins was built. For thirty-seven years he
was a resident of Macon.
He had been iu feeble health for the past year,
and was confined to Imbed six weekB prior to his
death.—Macon Telegraph.
Editors Are Good.
“Editors are most always kind, accommodating
and good hearted." This was the remark Chief
Palmer made to us last night in telling us how
kindly he was treated by the editor of the Fort
Gaines Tribune. He and other Columhusites
were comiug up from Apalachicola and had re
ceived no news from homo in a week. The editor
of the Tribune sent to them at the boat, copies of
the Enquirer-Sun for the intervening days, and
then, not only the news from Columbus, but a
history of the world was spread before them as if
by a mirror,
The Steumer Pactolus Launched.
A telegram was received lust night from the
builders at Jeffersonville, Indiana, saying that
the steamer Pactolus was successfully launched
j’esterday, and now floats on her ftiture element,
a thing of beauty. The Pactolus is a new steam
boat being built at Jeffersonville, Indiana, fora
company in this city, and is 135 feet long. 28 feet
beam and four foot hold, with a full cabin and
texas. The steamer will have a carrying capacity
of about 700 bales of cotton, ami will he finished
about the 1st of August, when she will be inune-
difttelv brought to the Chattahoochee river,
where we hope sh£ will find the sands of our
river turned iuto gold.
«, RnProiitl Tickets for the Tournament*
The railroads have acted very cleverlv in giving
-the people a chance to witness the grandest bicycle
tournament ever held iu the south, which takes
^place iu Columbus on the loth, 16th and 17th inst.
Ou the Mocile and Girard road and on the Co
lumbus and Rome road tickets have been pre
pared with a park coupon attached, and will be
sold at the price of one fare, with twenty-five
cents extra for admission to the park. For in
stance, the fare from Seale to Columbus is 80
cents. A round trip ticket, which will admit to
the tournament, will be sold fur $1 05. Every
body ought to come and witness the riding of the
wheelmen.
THEY WERE ALL SITTING AliOVND
And Tin*) Told Peculiar Incidents Which Had
Happened.
It is wonderful what strange things happen to
a great many people, and whut curious incidents
occur in their lives, of which the world never
hears. It is seldom that a crowd of gentlemen
get together without relating circumstances that
would admirably fill u place in the newspapers,
rt is always some little incident that starts the
flow of more wonderftil narratives. For instance,
such as that at the Webster warehouse yesterday
afternoon.
Twenty-three years ago a gentleman sealed up
a package of books in a small wooden box. Iu
order to keep them securely they were sealed up
so as to be air-tight. Yesterday the box was
opened by Mr. John Reese, and lo and .behold, he
ft»und a chinch in the box. It had been there
without food or water, and though slightly oma
dated, crawled off after having been exposed to
the warm sunshine for a few minutes. This illus*
trates very forcibly, that though
“The bed bug has no wiugs at all. •
He get* there all the Bame.”
“Did you ever hoar about that wonderftil sh 5t
I made ?’’ said the popular bookkeeper of the es
tablishment. “You didn’t; well it is worth tell
ing. One day while out on the plantation near
Dozten ille, I went out hunting. About twenty
steps in front and near some thick grass in the
swamp, an old rabbit hopped out. The little
doggerel about
“The old hare skip, the old hare hop,
The old hare eat my turnip top,”
ran through my mind and thinks I to myself,
thinks 1, you won’t eat many more turnip tops;
so I bunged away at her; but away went the cot-
ton-tail as though it had been a blank cartridge.
I went to the place to see if I didn’t at least tear up
the ground, when what should I find but three
coons floundering in the agonies of death. 1
bad missed the rabbit hut killed three coons.
“That reminds me of a shooting frolic I gol into
once,” said one of the efficient clerks of this cn-
teiprising institution. “Up in Meriwether there
used to be a greut many suakes, and while out
hunting squirrels I saw a black snake poke his
head over a log. l hfid twenty-two cartridges
counting the two in my gun, so I thought I
would pop off the snake's head I fired,
and, though I at first thought had done so with
deadly aim, the snake popped Us head up again
I shot the second time. The snake dropped
down like it was killed, but its head would im_
mediately bob up serenely again. I thought as
Macbeth had said :
“ T have scotched the snake, not killed it,’ but
was determined tc kill it. Sol loaded up again,
and continued to reload and shoot until the
twenty-two cartriges were all shot away. I knew
I could kill a snake, ho I cut a stick and, slipping
near enough, gave the black runner a terrible
lick, almost severing its head. Imagine my sur
prise when I saw what I thought was the same
snake going like ublue streak through the woods.
1 stepped up on the log and there lay twenty-two
snakes with their heads shot off, and llie one I
had killed with a stick. The twenty-fourth had
escaped.”
The manager of the lightning manipulations
heard the story and was anxious to tell his. He
had been out to Pine Knot springs, and had a
snake tale that he had been afraid to venture on
an iiidiscriminating public. This gave him cour
age and he said:
“Walking down the branch one day, I saw a
moccasin lying near the bank. Procuring a
forked stick, I pinned the snake to the ground
without killing it. As I did so, thirty-one litUc
ones ran out of her mouth. I though: it was
time to leave, and so I stood not upon the order
of going, hut went at once. The snake gave a
kind of a hissing noise and
4 Brief as the ligntning in the collied cloud,
That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth,
And ere a man hath power to say. ‘Behold !’
The jaws of darkness do devour it up,”
as Shakespeare said in his Midsummer Night,
so quick did these little suakes run hock iuto
that old snake’s mouth. Now, you can all be
hove it or not, just as you want to.”
J ust then the whistle gave the signal of an ap
preaching train, and though another gentleman
was relating a very interesting bit of his expr •
rieuce in ventures, we were compelled
to leave. No doubt many others followed,
ail of which would interest our readers,
and the reporter regrets that he c u’.d
not be as wonderful as some of the in-
Mills while he was on him, and he thinks he
cut him again as he got up. He then ran and
made his escape. The knife used was a huge
butcher knife about ten inches long. The negro
threw it over into Mr. Mark Masters’yard, and it
was found there about a week after the killing.
Hood is undoubtedly mistaken about cutting
mills twice, as only oue wound was found on
him. Witnesses who testified at the coronor’s
inquest said nothing about seeing a third man in
the fight. One of them testified that blows were
passed and that Mills was knocked down. The
negro, however. now displays a scar on the side
of his chin which he say a was inflicted by the
man who knocked him down.
Hood has been lodged in the oounty jail to
await trial. McLester Shipp have been em
ployed to defend him. We understand that the
Knights of Labor, of which order Mills was a
member, propose to prosecute the case.
INDEPENDENT ORDER OE GOOD TEMPLARS.
Thu Meeting of the Grand Lodge in tills City—
Who Will Entertain Delegates.
The meeting of the grand lodge or Good Tem
plars of Georgia will take place in this city,
beginning on the 20th instant. This meeting
will be representative of every lodge in the state.
There will be present about two hundred dele
gate*. It will be a very important gather:’.g
and the result of the conference will
be noticed with interest by lovers
of thi*» noble cause throughout the country.
Much important business will be transacted and
the rlehberac.ouj of the order will probably steer
its future action at least in Georgia.
As there will be such a large number of dele
gates here at that time, all sympathizers of ’..Vie
cause are requested to*entertain at least one dele
gate. Columbus has been selected for the place
of meeting ou account of the proverbial hospi
tality of its people, uni we arc sure that thin
reputation will be sustained.

Last night about 9:30 o’clock the monotonous
“tick!” ’‘tick !” of the printing office was broken
•by the strains of excellent vocal music floating in j
through the open windows. A colored quartette
was serenading the office. The sounds of music
had scarcely died away before in came a waiter
laden with saucers of delicious ice cream and
sherbet, on which was a card bearing the
n script ion. “Editors and employes Enruirek-
Sun; compliments of the Young Men’s Christian j
Association.” Hardly had the contents of this

For Stealing a Slipper.
Yesterday a white man named Wui. Davis went
into Phillips’ shoe store on Tenth street and
casually picked up a slipper and hid it under his
vest. He probably intended to do the mate t j it
the same way, but unfortunately for him, he got
caught on the first foul tip. A bystander saw l.is
trick and notified the proprietor. Officers were
called in and Davis was arrested. The slipper
was found where n had been concealed, and with
such strong evidence against him, the officers de
cided to take him to the guard house. A war
rant 'has been sworu out against him and he
will have a preliminary trial to-day. Davis is
about thirty or thirty-five years of age and has a
family. He was drinking yesterday when he
committed the theft.
Death of Mrs. Robert Dean.
Mrs. Robert Deau died at her home in Talbot

been in delicate health a number of years, but
her death is nevertheless a source of
profound sorrow to her many friends. She
was a native of Harris county
and was a daughter of the late Mr.
Isaac Johnson. No purer Christian or nobler
woman ever lived, and death possessed no terror
for her. She died in the faith which had sus
tained her t lire ugh life. She leaves a husband
! and several children who have the sympathy of
j mauy friends in their sad bereavement.

TO NAVE LIFE.
Plain Directions to Restore Half Drowned People
—The YVaiit of This In form at ion Came Near
Causing a Boy In this City to Loose Ills Life.
This is the time when the river* and ponds are
filled with bathers and the list of drownings is
sometimes startling. In many cases the drown
ing person is taken from the water, and a knowl
edge of what should be done under the circum
stances would result in the saving of life. A few
weeks ago a lad fell into the rivet here, and the
fact that those present did not understand how
to resuscitate him, came near costing his life. To
ftirnish this information, the Enquirhr-Sun pub
lishes these directions from Dr. John D. Jones,
member of the Ohio state hoard of health. They
will be found of interest:
First—Remove all obstruction to breathing;
cut loose the neck and waist-bands. Let the
person be turned face downward, with the heud
down hill, the person having charge to stand
astride of the hips, with the face toward the
head of the patient, and both the Ungers under
the belly; raise the body ns high as possible
without lifting the forehead from the ground,
and give the body a smart jerk to remove the
mucus from the throat and the water from the
windpipe; hold the body suspended long enough
so that you may have tiWe to count five *6)
slowly. Repeat the jerk three or four times
j slowly.
Second— Let the patient he placed face down
ward—you maintaining your position astride of
I the body. Grasp the clothing at the shoulder
points, or if the patient is naked place your fin-
i gers into the armpi Is with the arms on top of the
| shoulders, and raise the chest as high as you can,
letting the head rest on the ground. Keep this
J position until you can count three :3) slowly,
j Place the patient on the ground witn the fore,
j head on the arm and the neck straightened; see
I that the mouth and nose are free. Place your
I elbows against your knees and your hands on
j the sides of the chest, over the
lower ribs, press downward and ‘ in-
j ward with force, count two (2> slowly,
then suddenly let go and grasp the shoulders as
before and raise the chest, then press upon the
ribs. These movements should be alternated for
ten or fifteen times a minute, unless breathing
lias been restoied sooner. Use the same regular
ity as in natural breathing.
Third -After breathing has been restored then
restore the animal heat. Wrap the patient in
blankets. Put hot water, hot bricks or anything
to restore warmth. Warm the head as fast as
the body to prevent convulsions. Rub the body
and slap the fleshy parts. ✓This will pro
duce warmth. When you arc satisfied that the
patient can swallow give hot drinks—coffee, teas,
or sparingly of spirits with hot water. Place the
patient on a warm bed, and let there be plenty of
fresh air in the room. Keep the patient quiet.
Avoid delay. Artificial breathing is of the most
importance. Do not permit the patient to lie on
| the back, unless some person prevents the tongue
from falling backwards, which might produce a
fatal choking. If breathing ceases give smart
slaps on the face or sudden jerks of the hair,
and it will sometimes start again. Do not give
Up too soon, tor within two hours you may he
near success.
THE MILLERS AND MEAL.
The Kniahts of Labor Instructed to Buy the
Product of Only One Mill.
“Have you heard about the trouble between the
small grocery dealers and the mills?” asked a
Knights of Labor of an Enquirer-Sun reporter
last night.
“No; what’s the matter?” queried the reporter,
“Well, you kuovr the Merchants Protective As
sociation agreed not to buy meal of a mill that
sold in a less quantity than ten bushels, or five
sacks. The Empire and the City Mills have gone
into the agreement, and yesterday the small
dealers and people who had been buying meal
direct from the mills became very much exer
cised over the matter. It was regarded as an at-
temp to force’ them to buy meal from the larger
dealers, if not at a greater cost, at much more in
convenience. The Knights of Labor took the
matter in hand and sent a committee up to
Clapp’s to make special arrangements with the
mill there. They returned and reported that
satisfactory arrangements hod been made, and
last night the Knights of Labor at my assembly
were instructed to buy no meal except that
ground at the Clapp mill.”
Owing lo the lateness of the hour at which the
reporter had the conversation with the Knight of
Labor who gave this information, we were unable
to investigate the matter further and give fuller
details. There will probably be further develop
ments to-day.
RASE BALL THIS AFTERNOON.
The Eagle and Pheuix Niue Will Again Tackle
the Amateurs.
Another game of base ball will be played this
afternoon at Star Park, between the Eagle and
Phenix nine and the Amateurs. Both teams are
on their mettle, and each prognosticates the
game as won. Therefore, we suppose great
ball will be played. Anyway, it
will be well worth witnessing; and,
as the admission is only fifteen cents, everybody
can attend. Fifteen cents is easy to borrow if
that sum is not right convenient in hand. The
ladies, of course, pass in (Yee of any charge. If
the small price of admission is not an induce
ment to witness the game, just noticethe players

D. F. Willcox, Agent Travelers’ Insurance Co;
DeaT Sir—A few years ago you Induced me to
take out an Accident Policy in the Travelers, and
upon your persuasion I have kept it up year by
year, not at all anticipating the possible benefit
to accrue. But I have now to thank you for it,
as well as for the Company’s check of $353.57 in
payment of my claim for many weeks of disabil
ity, the result of a very painftil accident, threat
ening the loss of my right hand. After this ex
perience of how it is “the unexpected which al
ways happens,” I shall certainly keep up my
Accident Policy, and I shall not forget the
promptness of the Company iu paying my claim
as soon as the amount could be ascertained.
