Glass, of Chipley, has been charged by the
mayor and council of that place with
twenty-four violations of the city ordi
nance prohibiting the sale of whisky with

amount of *720. It looks a little strange
that a prohibitionist will violate the very
law that he assisted so warmly in bringing
into .practice in his section. “Blind tigers”
are bad things to turn loose on society and
the mayor and council did well in bringing
it to a timely end. We were unable to

On Sunday night a negro woman who lives in
a cabin on Mr. James Cdbson’s place, at Crawford,
Ala., went to church, Iroving her three children
in the house, which she locked, taking the key
with her. About 9 o’clock the house was dis
covered to be on fire, and burned so rapidly that
those who got there first were only able to get
one of the children out, who was badly burned
The other two perished in the flames. *
It is not unfrequentlv that we are called up n
to chronicle instances of this kind* It does seem
that negroes would learn better than to leave
their children locked in a house where there is a
fire, So often are their lives lost in this way, that
it looks as if some law will have to be enacted
making it a crime for parents to leave their chil

Negro Implicated.
Sunday evening about sundown a well-to-do
darkey by the name of George Philips, while on
his way home ftrom Mr. Frank Roberts’, neur
Cataula, Harris county, was knocked down and
badly hurt by a desperate looking negro, who
gave his name as Tom Nunnaliy. Philips’ cries
of murder were heard’by his friends,who hastened
to his rescue, but before they reached him Nun*
nally had made his escape. He was soon cap
tured, however, and a wan ant issued, and he
was taken before Justice Thompson yes
terday morning, charged with assault with
intent to murder. The evidence being con
clusive, Nunnaliy was committed to jail to await
his trial at the fp\\ term of Harris county superior
court.
After Nunnaliy had been committed to jail he
confessed his crime, and says he was hired by an
old negro by the name of Commodore Perry to
kill Philips. A warrant was immediately issued
far Perry, who was promptly arrested, and after
being duly tried, was committed to jail. Nun
naliy is said to be a bad looking character, and

For the Week endimrJuty 251 the receipts at
the United States ports reached 0714 bales,
making the total since September 1st 5,289,012
bales, showing an increase of 568,287.
The twenty-six interior towns for the week end
ing July 23d received 7328 bales, shipped 12,152,
ami had stocks of 04.810 balds. Same time last
year they received 2887, shipped 3978 and had
stocks of 22,300.
The above totals show that the old interior
stocks have decreased during the week 3010
bslcs and are to-night 38,634 bales more than at
the same period last year. The receipts at .the
same towns have been 3687 bales more than the

the rest of the continent.
The Chronicle comments on its table of re

The above statement shows 1. That the total
receipts from plantations since September 1, 1885,
are 5,338,572 hales; in 1884-85 were 4,726,410 bales;
in 1883-84 were 4,777,458 bales.
2. -That, although the receipts at the out ports

A LONG JUMP.
A Newsboy Jumps From Brooklyn Hriilge.
New York Herald.
Steve Brodie, the newsboy, jumped from
the Brooklyn bridge yesterday afternoon.
He struck on his feet and swam for the
shore. An hour later he was In the midst
of ten acres of hurrahing fourth warders,
and a policeman was leading him to the
Tombs. Brodie is twenty-three years of
age, five feet six inches in height and of
dark complexion.
His brother was one of the late Honduras
filibusters. In his absence Steve laid his
plans to make fame for himself at home.
The Brooklyn bridge jump was the biggest
thing he knew of.
PREPARING FOR THE LEAP.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning
Brodie got his friends together. Tim
Brennan, who works in Walsh’s Frankfort
street printing establishment, was in
charge of the arrangements. They got a
boat at the foot of Dover street. In it was
a bundle of clothing, two reporters and a
representative of the sporting newspaper
pool. A few trusted fourth ward friends
stood on the pier. An examination of the
water was not satisfactory. It was too
rough. Brennan and Brodie decided to
wait until ebb tide.
It was a little after two o’clock when
Brodie appeared at the eutrance to the
bridge. He was accompanied by his wife
and their two children. They went into
the waiting room, where she kissed him

and was driven on the bridge. Not one of
the watchmen on duty suspected anything
startling until Policeman Hally, of the Oak

Without stopping to arrest the truck driver

crowd on the bridge, the officer ran like
a deer off the bridge and down the
dark streets toward the river, with five
hundred shouting men and boys hard after

followed by an immense crowd. He laughed
and Chatted as if ho had been on a chow

a question front the officer. “No, sir, I
made a clean ?200 and jumped a square

LIKE ONE FROM THE DEAD.
A I'ersomd In u yrwHpapvr Uvunllcs a Family.
Fifteen years ago Frank Beebe, aged
20, mysteriously disappeared from his
home at Clarendon, Orleans county, New
York. On the morning of his departure
Frank Itad come home from an all night
at the village tavern, and was in no humor
to receive the severe upbraiding admin
istered by his father.
“You are continually scolding me, fath
er,” he said, snappishly. “Good-bye, I’m
going to leave you;’’ with which lie started
away. Two days afterwards his father re
ceived a letter from him dated at Roches
ter. N. Y., in which he said;
Dear Father: I have given my actions
serious thought, and have decided to heave
home forever. I am going to New York
with two .young men whom I have met '
and we all intend to enlist in the United
States navy. You are to blame for the !
course I have taken, and you will never j
hear from me again. Tell Myra Baker, J
when she calls at our house to see Sister ;
Fanny, what, I have done. Site, too, seemed j
cold toward me before I left. Your son, !
Frank Beebe. |
Mr. Beebe came to New York, and at |
a south street recruiting station learned '
that bis son had enlisted and been assigned !
to a war ship which had shortly afterward
been ordered to the Isthmus of Panama.
The father returned to his home and
waited patiently and expectantly for some
tidings of his errant son. Months and
years passed away, but no news of bis boy
recited him except an unconfirmed report
furnished by a sailor who visited Claren
don and stated to Mr. Beebe that he
thought, that Frank Beebe had died at
Colon of Chagres fever.
Frank’s term of enlistment expired in
tlie spring of 1876 and his father had fond
ly set his heart upon the young man’s re
turn then. He waited patiently through
out the summer, but Frank did not put iu
au appearance. In the fall of that year a
new sorrow was added to Farmer Beebe’s
heart in the death of his wife.
The boy did not come back immediately
upon his discharge from the navy. He
went to San Francisco and re enlisted in a
war vessel connected with the Pacific
squadron. He remained here for several
years and then his ship was ordered to
Hong Kong, China, and afterwards to dif
ferent ports in the Mediterranean.
While in China his father died, leaving
him his farm of 300 acres, making the pro
viso in his will: “ I devise and bequeath
to my dear son Frank Beebe my farm of
300 acres, which shall be held in trust for
him by mv (laughter, Fanny Beebe, for
the term of five years, and at the end of
that time, if he does not return, it shall re
vert to her, to have and to hold during her
life,”
Fanny Beebe had been left several thou
sand dollars on deposit in the bank of Al
bion, and site lived comfortably and con
tentedly at the homestea'd, all the time
hoping for Frank’s return.
A few weeks ago Fanny concluded to
spend a few weeks at Long Brunch. She
visited friends at Elberton and enjoyed
themselves in a quiet, moderate manner ::t
this fashionable resort. In conversation
one evening about her family afl'airs Miss
Fanny mentioded Frank’s absence, and ex
pressed the wish to learn something of his
whereabouts and whether he was dead or
alive.
“Perhaps,” said a friend who was pres
ent, “a personal in the Journal will reach
him.”
“I’ll try it,” said Miss Fanny, and the
personal was inserted.
Frank Beebe read it while lying in his
ship at the Brooklyn navy yard. He visted
his sister at Long Branch three days ago,
and learned that he was the heir to a
handsome farm. The old love for his
former sweetheart, Maria Baker, was re
newed, and in a few weeks Frank will be
come a husband and the possessor of a
beautiful estate. His term of enlistment
expires August 14.
The »w Luminary.
It was Lord Byron who said that he
awoke one morning to find himself fa
mous, but he is not the only writer who
enjoyed that enviable experience. Re
cently Mary N. Murfree, or CharleB Egbert
Craddock, as she is oftener called, equalled
the swift flight of England’s poetic Mephis
topheles into prominence, selecting, how
ever, an American sky to penetrate with
her literary wing. And now we have an
other case recorded, that of Miss Amelie
Rives, who, while trying to beguilean un
occupied day In her sick room, wrote “A
Brother to Dragons” for the Atlantic,
and now has more offers than she
can fill iu several years. Miss Rives
is beautiful, as well as gifted, with a face,
we are told, “like a Madonna before she
knew her seven sorrows,” in which the
innocence of twenty-two years is reflected,
as the sunlight by the costal stream.
When not writing sh6 is scouring the
Virginia hills on horseback, leaping five-
barred fences with ease, or fashioning
marble to the fancy of an artistic eye.
Shakespeare is her literary idol, and from
his lines she usually turns to prose w’ork
of her own or to sonnets, such as that
which the Century recently published. In
short, the Admirable Crichton was a.fool
to her. What publisher now speaks for
Miss Rivers to edit his magazine?
The principal ](rt ot the time of the
senate in secret session up to recess at
six o’clock was consumed by Senators
Voorheesand Harrison, speaking respec
tively for and against the confirmation of
Collector Thomas Hanlon, of the seventh
Indiana internal revenue district, adversely
reported from the finance committee. The
case was still pending when a recess was
taken.
Upon reassembling at 8 o’clock it was
discovered that there was no quorum, and
the pages were sent out to summon the
absentees. Five minutes later a quorum
had assembled, aud the consideration of
the Haitian ease was resumed.
