(ioitur to Montgomery.
Miss Bessie Waddell, of this city, lias been
elected a teacher in the public schools of Mont
gomery. She has been teaching in Columbus
several years and is fully qualified to “tench the
young idea how to shoot.” The trustees of the
Montgomery public schools are fortunate in se
curing her sendees, and while her many friends
here are gratified at any change that benefits
her, they nevertheless regret very much to see
her leave Columbus.
Will Make Ills Home in SmhiiiiiiIi.
A letter was received yesterday from Prof. G.
M. Dews saying that he had purchased a half in
terest in a lighterage business in Savuunuh,
which necessitates a change of home. He writes
that he has entered upon his duties in connec
tion with the enterprise. Columbus regrets very
much to lose so valuable a citizen as Prof. Dews
and heartily commends him and his excellent
wife to the good people of Savannah.
Paying Off the Debt.
Last Christmas day the pastor placed Jehoido’s
box in the altar of Broad street church and the
members began to fill it with small contributions
to pay the church debt, which was then about
|840. Last night a large congregation assembled
at tho church to witness the box-opening. It was
found to contain $182.76. The congregation soon
raised the amount to $200. The church is in fine
condition, and the remainder of the debt will bo
raised during the present year.

Committed for Murder.
The preliminary' trial of Allen Hood, the negro
charged with the murder of James Mills, a white
man, took place yesterday morning. Justices
Wynne, Wilkins and Brooks presided. S. B.
Hatcher, Esq., appeared for the prosecution, and
McLestcr& Shipp for the defense. The prosecu
tion introduced two witnesses, who testified at
the coroner’s inquest to prove the killing, and
offered to prove Hood’s confession, but counsel
for defense admitted that he confessed the stab
bing. The defense stated that they would intro
duce no testimony, and Hood was committed to
jail without bail to answer the charge of murder
at the next term of the superior court. As has
already been published, Hood confessed the kill
ing, but claims that ho acted in self-defense. The
witnesses who saw the difficulty from a short dis
tance know nothing of its origin, or who struck
the first blow.
A DEAD BODY FOUND.
Kiippowil to be That of u Negro Boy Who MiimI
hi Tills City.
On Saturday Mr. Walter Cook, of Chattahoo
chee county, went to Mr. R. C. Patterson’s plant
ation in that county to see him on business, and
leaving there, got the direction of a neighbor’s
house a near way through the woods. In going
there he passed through.0 thick woods to a log
across the creek. While crossing the log he dis
covered a gun with the butt resting on the bot
tom of tlie creek and the muzzle resting against
the log. He reachci'l down to pull the gun up
and discovered a foot sticking out of the sand in
the bottom of the creek. Looking closer, lie |
discovered another foot. II being nearly
dusk, he did not feel inclined to
examine any further and retraced his steps, a
little faster, however, than they were made to j
Mr. Patterson’s house, and told him the circum- |
stances. Mr. Patterson next morning gathered a i
few neighbors together and went t<!» the place
and found the skeleton of a man, the flesh evi
dently having been eaten off by the buzzards. |
He also found a coat aiid hat. The coat showed
a hole on tho right side of it with a powder burn
around it. The coat and hat were recognized by
several and the gun by the owner of it, but there
was nothing else to indicate who the man was.
It appears that about the middle of June a ne
gro boy about 18 years old, and raised by Henry
King, of Chattahoochee, who had been living in
Columbus, went tc Mr. King’s house and was
there and in the neighborhood until when last
seen on the 20th of June, when he borrowed a
gun to go hunting, On thut day he went to
King’s store and bought some ammunition. He
left there and went in the direction of the woods
where he was found.
A coroner’s jury was summoned, and from ull
the facts and circumstances, they were satisfied
that the remains were those of Hilliard King,
the negro above referred to, and that he was
killed by the accidental discharge of the gun he
carried while crossing the log. It is supposed
that he must have rested the butt of the gun on
the log to steady himself, when it was accident
ally discharged, killing him instantly. His re
mains were buried by bis friends.
Hilliard King is a son of Steve King, of this
city, and who has for several years been employ
ed at the Rankin House.

OBSERVATIONS TAKEN ON TIIB GROUNDS:
LaGrange, Ga., July 19—Representatives from
all the counties have arrived. The convention
meets at 12 o’clock to-morrow. The delegates arc a
strong body, the younger element predominating.
The utmost goad humor is shown and an early
nomination is looked for. Grimes is universally
conceded as the nominee. He shows unmistak
able strength throughout the district. It is be
lieved he is the second choice of several counties.
There can be conjectures only as to the rule to be
adopted. Freeman is understood to favor the
majority rule. Troup county is so reported also.
Freeman is here, but leaves in the morning.

AAV presume there is no class of men in the
world oftener called, upon to put into active ex

to the lowest the spirit of giving is fully culti

less dangerous—bind men together by very close
ties, and when one i? in need of this world’*,

than the railroader's for his brother rail

my supposed it was
no reason for firing
it, began to enquire about the cause. It was
soon learned tluit the report was caused by the
explosion of the cylinder of a slasher in the fifth
story of Mill No. 3 of the Eagle and Plieuix Man
ufacturing company. The explosion shook the
entire building, but strange to say the damage
was very slight. A few window glass were
broken out and a wooden "bonnet" which cov
ered the cylinder was blown into fragments. A
piece of riving timber struck Mr. John Com max
on the head and inflicted u scalp wound. An
other piece struck Mr. Jones Goins on the arm
and bruised it. One or two other operatives re
ceived slight scratches from flying debris.
* When a reporter visited the mill after the acci
dent he found the operatives all at work, as if
nothing unusual had happened. Mr. Clni.dy,
the boss in the room, said no one could tc-11 how
the explosion occurred. It was probably caused
by the ch^ck valve being caught in some way.
The cylinder which exploded was about seven
feet in diametez and was literally wrecked, it
will be replaced by one which, it is said, cannot
explode.

It is gratifying to know the people both in Cov

practically solid about the way the Midland
folks build railroad and talk little that appeals to
the- good sense of the people.

Dear 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 ia
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 tlic Company in paying my claim
as sobn as the amount could bo ascertained.
