Williams was recently ar rested and taken before United States Com missioner Gaston, at Gainesville, who com mitted him to jail in default of bond. Colonel John R. Towers, principal keep er of the penitentiary, is engaged in mak ing a list of convicts to be discharged on the first of September. The number is about thirty. There are now in the peniten tiary about fifteen hundred convicts,which is above the average number. The con vict camps are all in excellent condition. Alex. Williams, once a member of the legislature of South Carolina, was ar raigned in police court in Atlanta Tues day morning upon a charge of drunk and disorderly conduct, and was fined fifteen dollars and cost and sent to jail in default of a three hundred dollar bond for assault with intent to murder. Williams is a large, vicious looking negro. r Dr.' W. C. Mathews, of Hartwell, came very near experiencing a serious accident last Saturday. He had filled a small vial witli croton oil and in putting the cork in compressed the air sufficiently to cause an explosion which resulted in bursting the vial and throwing the oil up in his face, into his nose, ears and thought at the time to have gone into his eyes also, but for tunately but little if any got in them, liis sufferings for several hours were very in tense and his friends were apprehensive of serious results, but he is now convalescent, and without an unfavorable change will be out in a few days. An outrageous crime was committed on the eight-year-old step-daughter of Mr. John Braun, who lives six miles from Cam ming, by a negro boy about fifteen years old. This crime was committed while Mr. Braun -and his wife was at Friendship camp meeting. The negro was caught in the crime by an old negro woman, who accidentally went over to Mr. Braun’s house, and hearing a child crying, went out in the yard to see what was the matter. As soon as Mr. Braun came home the ne gro woman told him of the crime, and he immediately caught the negro boy and car ried him to Cumming, where he was lodged in jail. Dollas Hill, colored, a man living about three miles "rom Norwood, before retiring Monday night, made a fat meat poultice, which he applied to a rising on his person. He retired with unwashed hands, and in the dead hour of midnight , while Dallas was enjoying the soothing effects of the poultice—so soothing that it had caused a deep sleep to fall upon him—a rat of un usual size ventured out. Being attracted by the smell of the poultice, he made his wav towards Da’las. His hands were the first things reached and the rat, thinking this was the thing sought, went to work n id gnawed the negroe’s fingers and lacer- ated his bund in a frightful manner. He satiated his hunger anil retired to bis pin it* of deposit without ever awaking the negro, He awoke the next morning to hnd his hand and lingers in a bad fix. Real estate sales in Birmingham Tuesday amounted to about £200,000. Camp Hill, on the Columbus and Wes tern railroad, is enjoying a building boom. Mrs. John A. Carlisle, of LaFayette, died on Monday.

Tuesday morning at nine o’clock at the Methodist church in Birmingham Rev. Hardie Brown united in the holy bonds of matrimony Mr. Geo. P. Al j£ e r?, on V°Cf' 1 ''" erpool. England, and Miss Mattie A. Mon- erief, of Birmingham. The foundry of the Excelsior Foundry- end Machinery Company, at Irondale, made its first cast Tuesday afternoon.

Congregational Emmanuel at Birming ham has elected as its minister Babbi Alex ander Rosenspitz, recently of Portland, Oregon, formerly resident at t'nmvn is at Jacksonville, Fla., and widely knot one of the ablest and most learned men of his calling that ever lived in the south. The Selma correspondent of the Mont gomery Advertiser says : The stockholders of the boat company met this morning and passed resolutions to at once purchase and put a boat on the river. Also to build a railroad from here to the Cahaba toai fields. Captain White, of the Selma water works company, made an able ai impressive speech. ’here was considerable excitement in dsden Monday, caused by the sheriff a - ting under a state warrant for trespass for Standifer, Aldermen Pat Lay and J- ward and Street Overseer W. 1. Shook, e warrant was sworn out by A. Hams natural flow of water upon his premise, and he built a dam across the ditch and turned the water back, which caused other people to complain, and the council order- ec ; the street overseer to open the ditch, which he did, and they were arrested and put in jail and remained there about two hours, when they decided to make bond, Which they very readily did. Kliirblii. Sweet potatoes are selling at DeLand at 30 cents a peck. Crops of corn and sugar cane in Alachua county nre better than they have been for twenty-five years. Two prominent citizens of Jacksonville, John 8. Driggs and J. G. Merrill, were stricken with paralysis on Friday night, and nre in a serious condition. Another effort is to be made to organize a boat and athletic club in Palatka. This time a number of young gentlemen will take hold energetically, and as they have been members of similar organizations in other cities they know just how to organize and conduct such institutions. Last Friday week Arthur Haycock, while hunting with a friend in a boat on a small lake near Narcoossee, met with an accident which came near costing him the loss of his right arm, He was standing in the boat grasping his rifle, a thirty-eight callibre, by the muzzle, the butt resting on the seat of the boat. In some way the rifle slipped off the seat and was discharged, the ball entering tbe inside of the arm just above the elbow, badly shattering the bone, and coming out on the outside just below the shoulder. Amputation will be avoided. Pensacola Commercial: “Mill employes are having a hard time in this section now. Their working hours average 12 out of the 24, and their wages are only £1.25 per day, which must be accepted in scrip and traded out in the company’s store. A great many men do not see a silver dollar for months, and can’t raise a nickel piece to put in the collection box on Sunday. Prices at the company’s store range ordinarily at about 20 per cent, above regular retnil prices. There are certainly some points in the present mill system that need regulating at tlie hands of the state legislature. Many of the mill employes are in a condition of practical slavery."

Judge Ste_phe.ii Burdett Hyatt, of the city court, isew York, visited Paris,France, three years ago, and upon his return told this interesting fact concerning tlie super stitions of the people: “1 wandered through the streets of Paris day after day. One fact I discovered was that no house in any street I went through—and I went through many—was numbered thirteen. After tlie fact was first brought to my notice J made it a study to search for such a num ber. I always found number twelve, but the next number was invariably douze bis, twelve-and a half. And this is owing to the superstition of the French people concerning the number thirteen, which is the strongest of all their peculiar superstitions. But the French are not the only superstitious people. On the con trary, superstition is almost universal, and there is not a nation, tribe, nomadic band nor scarcely an individual who is not imbued with it, or, at least, possessed of some pet superstition. “That, assertion is ridiculous,” remarked a staid old gentleman one day. “Take that horse chestnut out of your pocket before you deny it again,” ex claimed his friend, who knew he always carried one to cure his rheumatism. People of other nations carry about their pel-son talismans of various kinds to charm away disease, avoid death, propitiate love, prevent accident, preserve virtue, promote temperance, save from drow ning, cure hy drophobia, and for many other reasons.

Minii-iiIoiin Kuril)m. W. W. Reed, druggist, of Winchester, Ind., writes: “One of my customers, Mrs. Louisa Pike, Bartonia, Randolph county, Ind., was a long sufferer with consump tion, and was given up to die by her physi cians. She heard of Dr. King’s New Dis covery for consumption, and began buying itofiiie. In six months’ time she walked to this city, a distance of six miles, and is now SO mill'll improved she has quit using it. She feels she owes her life to it.” Free Trial a bottle at Brannon AC ar son’s drug Store. eodAw Cure for Hnttleiiiiiilie llite. Rattlesnake Jim. of Wooster, Ohio, says that the only reliable cure for the bite of a rattlesnake is turpentine. He'says that a bottle of turpentine held over the bitten spot, the uncorked mouth down, will draw out the poison, which can be seen as it enters tlie turpentine in a sort of blue flame. Although be lias never been bitten, lie lias tried this cure on his dogs, always with success.—Toledo Blade.
