DAILY ENQUIRER * SUN: COLUMBUS GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 21, U(8«. HAPPENINGS IN HARRIS. Home K»cts About the Crop*-Two Mules Kill Thenmelvea—A Trip to Talbotton, Kte. Special Correspondence Enqulrer-Sun. 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. Jay.

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. POLITICS IN CINCINNATI.

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. LIVING SNAKES IN HIS STOMACH. Horrible Experience of » Pennsylvania Jinn Three Vipers. i Been Mmle llliu Known. 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.
