Hamilton, Ga.. September 20.—Every
thing looks brighter in our midst now than
in some time. Cotton is coming into inat-
ket; money, therefore, circulates more
freely, but yet there is still room for im
provement. Every one is predicting a
short crop. b
Fodder sold on our streets during the
past week for fifty cents per hundred
S ounds,and country gathered hay at thirty-
ve cents per hundred. The June rains
made an abundance of hay, if the farmers
could have saved it.
Eggs and chickens have been a little
scarce for the last ten days, but not enough
so to cause the prices to advance any.
Hamilton enjoys the practice of rather a
queer business man. He buys his pro
visions on a credit during moonshine nights
and settles his bills promptly when the
dark nights roll round. Moral: Chickens
are caught more safely in the dark than in
the light.
Mr. W. W. Bussey is registered at the
Gamble House in our city.
The Hamilton boys played a game of
ball with the Kingsboro club here Satur
day evening and redeemed their lost lau
rels by defeating their opponents bv a
score of 31 to 26. *
We met a gentleman from near Waverly
Hall some days since, and he declared that
just as soon as the Georgia Midland was in
running order to that point that they in
tendednavine the court house moved down
and have all the business attended to there.
We thought it looked a little selfish in the
gentleman. He has nearly all the good
things there already, and it seems that he
might allow us to retain this one little evi
dence of our former prosperity. We will
file a demurrer to these proceedings any
way, and leave it to the county to decide
the matter.
Our distinguished townsman, Mr.
Cameron, in company with your reporter,
visited Talbotton last week to watch the
progress of the superior court. The docket
looks big, but asoftasthejudge would ask.
“What is in this case?” the answer would
show that the amount was small. While
there Mr. Peabody, of your city, was re
quested to act as judge “pro hoc vice,”
which he accepted, and discharged the
duties with his characteristic dignity and
ability. Ex-Governor Smith was also
called to the bench, and disposed of one
case, ruling on legal questions as though
he was perfectly at home. We think there
Is good material in the ex-governor for a
judge on the supreme court bench.
The crops along the route from Hamil
ton to Talbotton were generally good; but
little bottom land is on the road, apa up
land crops are generally fine. Occasionally
the cotton looks very red and was shedding
its leaves, showing signs of rust, though
.some claim that it was “fired” and not
rust.
Mr. William Stuckey, near town, had the
misfortune of losing both of his mules last
Friday. He tied them close together with
a chain and turned them into his pasture.
When he found them about sundown they
were lying on opposite sides of a pine tree,
on eloping ground, with their necks broken.
The loss falls heavily on Mr. Stuckey, as
he is unable just now to replace them.
Last Saturday was regular oourt day in
the Blue Springs district. Judge Clark
disposed of the following cases, to-wit:
W. A. Rogers, agent for B. F. Rogers,
vs. W. A. Askew, suit on account. Dis
missed by plaintiff.
J. H. Cowsert & Co., for use of Tommie
Cowsert, vs. Peter Hubbard and Henry
Hubbard, claimants. Claim withdrawn.
C. J. Hudson vs. J. H. Walker, suit on
note. After much talk by the attorneys
the court gave Judgment against the de-
fendent.
The mayor’s oourt of our little city was
convened during the past week for the
first time in months, and a3 the cul
prit plead guilty and promised to do bet
ter in the future the city treasury was en
riched only to the amount of one dollar.
While in Tolbotton last week we were
struck with the difference between the
running of the municipal functions of that
town and ours. We heard some com
plaint of municipal taxes. Here we have
no municipal tax at all; and yet for good
order and quietude, we think we have as
good gown os to be found anywhere.

The committee is to go out of existence ns
soon as the primaries are held. The ean-
uiaates nominated are to select a perma
nent executive committee. The matter is
now in shape for the board of elections to
grant authority to hold these primaries uu-
uer the new law. This movement ignores
the democratic committee of the last Octo
ber election and seeks to wipe it out of ex
istence. The old committee is not making

The republican county executive com
mittee met to-day and fixed the time for
the county convention, and resolved to
hold the primaries for it under tin- Buftov
law. The significant part of their action
was thu fixing of the qualification of voters
at these primaries. A republican to have
a vote there must have voted for Bloint
and Foraker. This will exclude all Mug
wumps and new converts.

MANNING AND THE MISSION.
Ni-:w York,-September 20.—The stodk
market to-day was extremely active, the
sales being the largest for any one day for
many months. Trading was accompanied
by a great deal of excitement at times.
Prices were throughout the day quite fever
ish. Reading, Lackawanna and Western
Union were features. Vanderbilts were
also notably strong. The opening was
strong; the first prices showing advances
over Saturday ranging & to 1. Trading was
very active in the early dealings, with con
siderable irregularity In prices, which,
however, disappeared toward
noon, when everything moved
up in unison. Lackawanna advanced
sharply in the afternoon, accompanied by
Western Union and Omaha, but heavy
selling on foreign account and a break of
1 in Pacific Mail checked the general ad
vance for a short time, though it after
wards recovered handsomely. There was
again heavy selling in the last hour, which
caused a reaction m some stocks and held
others down to the prices already attained,
the market closing barely firm. The most
notables advances are: Western Union 2S,
Lackawanna 21, New England IB, Texas
Pacific If, with nearly all the rest of the
list up smaller amounts. Sales, 627,000
shares.
RIFLED MAIL BAGS.
Tiro of Them Found in Montgomery.
Montgomery, September 20.—Two
rilled United States mail bags were discov
ered to-day under the platform of the cot
ton press here. One was unlocked, but
both were cut open aB if with a dull knife
and both were empty. Their appearance
indicated that they had been very recently
put there. No letter or sign of contents
was found, but there is reason to think
they were rifled Saturday night after being
snatched from the incoming train from
Nashville. Inspector Booth, at Atlanta,
has been telegraphed to send detectives at
once.
ON THE TRACK.
The Ibices of the Brooklyn Jockey Club.
Cincinnati, Sept. 20.—About two weeks
ago the financial baud of “Perfectionists”
created a sensation by making a new and
distinguished convert—the Rev. Dr. I.
Jerome, a minister from London. England.
The excitement attending this affair has
hardly died away before another startling
incident is brought to light. Miss Marie
Andress, a prominent young lady of Wal
nut Hill, one of the earliest believers in the
strange faith, has become a backslider.
The young woman has had a terrible time
to escape from the clutches of Mrs.
Martin, the so-called Christ, and her pa
rents fear that she may yet return to
her strange religion. Miss Andress has
for many months been fascinated by the
Perfectionists. She is engaged to a young
gentleman in New York, whose efforts to
lead her away from the little band has
heretofore proved futile. On Sunday
night, September 4, she was, after much
persuasion, induced to leave the city, and
is now at Salem. Ind., with her mother.
She has written a letter severing her con
nection with the Perfectionists, out is said
to be in a pitiable frame of mind. She de
clares that Mrs. Martin has predicted that,
she wiU die within thirty days, and the
female Christ has charged her with com-
zftitting the unpardonable sin by leaving
the society. The Perfectionists have put
forth every effort to find out the where
abouts of their recalcitrant member, but
have so far been unsuccessful.
The brother, sister and affianced of Miss
Andress visited thq Brooke residence,
where the meetings are held, and de
manded to see the girl. One of the party
S assed through the windows and saw Mrs.
[artin seated on a sort of throne sur
rounded by her faithful followers. Sbe
was expounding on friendship, andher re
marks were directed particularly to Miss
Andress, who was suspected of a disposi
tion to follow her lover and leave
them. She was warned that a terrible
result would follow her leaving th
band, and the poor girl was gieatly
terriAed. She saw her lover, but refused
to accompany him. She is afraid that _ ^
is irretrievably lost. Her family ar e watch
ing her closely, and her mother returne
home to-night from a visit to her unhappy
the"" Perfectionists do not get hold of
her within the next thirty daysher rela
tives Bay she will make some startling
closures. The Perfect people are greatly
exercised over the matter, and Mrs. M
tin heaps the most bitter maledictions
upon her former worshiper.

Jacksonville, Fla., September20.—Un
der Col. Wade’s convoy the Chricihua
Apaches were Bafely lodged in. Fort
Marion, St. Augustine, this evening at 4
o’clock. The Indians and soldiers are
well. Lieut. Miles relieved Col. Wade
from further responsibilities at the gates of
the fort. The Indians seem indifferent to
the change, but do not like not being per
mitted to come outside the gates. It is
the opinion of Col. Wall and the officers
accompanying him that the Indian war in
Arizona is ended. The infantry officers
give the cavalry credit for the capture of
the hostiles. They intimate that the only
thing remaining to be done is to dispose
effectually of Geronimo and the Natchez
scouts and the half-breeds. They say they
ought to hang.
Hurdorcd ami ltolilveil.
Charleston, S. C., September 20.—At
Florence early yesterday morning the
body of James Douglass, jr., a prominent
young man, was found on the sidewalk
with three wounds in the head, either of
which would have been fatal. A 38-cali
bre pistol ball was found in the back of the
head and there were two other wounds
evidently inflicted by blows. The object
of the murder wns robbery. The mur
derers have not yet been identified.
A Nuspt'DHion Announced.
New York, September 20.—The sus
pension of Tasker H. Marvin, broker of 39
Broad street, was announced on the floor
of the stock exchange this afternoon.
Marvin declined to make any statement
about his affairs, but hoped to resume be
fore long. About 2500 shares of stock
have been bought in on his account.

liis Decision Sol
Albany. N. Y., September 20.—The re
port that the Austrian mission will be ten
dered to Secretary Manning in October is
partially confirmed here. Before Mr.
Manning's return to this city Dr. Lincoln
strongly advised him to resume work of
some Kind in the autumn as a hotter medi
cine for bis trouble than further idleness,
which had already become Irksome to
him. Secretary Manning #xpressed reluc
tance to resuming the trying labor of me
chanical details in the treasury depart
ment. Two of liis intimate friends subse
quently suggested to the president and
Secretary Bayard the advisability of ap
pointing Mr. Manning minister to Austria,
and they are understood to have fallen in
at once with the proposition. Mr. Man
ning, however, expressed himself then as
averse to leaving the country. Whether
he has since changed his mind on that
point is not kuojvn here.
Washington, September 18.—There is
still much talk about Mr. Manning being
made minister to Austria. Some ciuim
that the president has tendered him the
mission and the secretary is considering it.
The skate department claims to know noth
ing of it, and say that if anything of the
kind is going on >1 Is between the president
and Mr. Manning themselves. This would
seem improbable if there, ivns truth in the
report.
The Evening Star this afternoon reiter
ates its belie! that Secretary MannlTig has
been tendered the Austriun mission with a
view to securing a settlement of the silver
question in this country by effecting a com
bination between Germany, Austria and
Russia for the maintenance of a bi-metallic
currency on the basis of the Latin union.
The article asserts positively that
the appointment has been left, to
the decision of Secretary Manning
himself and argues strongly in favor of his
acceptance of the office, as a means of
solving the troublesome silver problem.
In the absence of the president and Secre
tary Manning, and by reason of the reti
cence of Secretary Bayard, it is impossible
at this time to obtain any direct or official
information on the subject.
Treasury officials generally are inclined*
to doubt the story and some have gone so
far as to assert that it is Secretary Man
ning’s intention, in case his health will
permit of his again giving his attention to
public affairs, to resume his duties at the
department even if it is only for the pur
pose of preparing his annual report to con
gress.
They argue that if his health would not
admit of that work it certainly would not
be equal to a mental strain such ns would
necessarily be imposed by an attempt to es
tablish an international silver basis.

Williamsport, Pa., September T
About three years ago Mr. John I.ongwell,
of Charleston, Tioga county, began expe
riencing strange sensations in his stomach,
as if some living thing were there. He felt
something moving about in his stomach at
times. A year ago his belief was confirmed,
when, by means of u violent emetic, he
vomited'two living snakes, each over a
foot in length. Two months later he felt
a recurrence of the crawling sensation in
his stomach and was taken with fits ac
companied with horrible convulsions.
Three weeks ago he experienced an ex-
ceptionallv severe fit, which nearly cost
him his life. Yesterday afternoon during
another tit, Mr. Longwell vomited up a
garter snake eighteen and a half inches
long and half an inch in diameter. His
wife stated that when the snake protruded
four inches from the sufferer’s mouth
it stuck fast, but the snaae was finally
ejected, though not before Mr. Longwell,
in his agonizing convulsions, had bitten it
almost through in three places. Neigh
bors corroborate the account. It is sup
posed that in drinking from a pool about
three years ago Mr. Longwell sucked into
his stomach the eggs from which the rep
tiles grew.

Green & Co. in their report on cotton futures,
say: The feeling has been quite firm, with an
advance of three to four points, very well sus
tained up to the close. European advices were
better and at the south an excellent demand for
cotton was reported with limited supplies, at
prices in some eases above the limits of this

larger volume than for sometime past.
