water running into the lower reservoir at all and
insure us better and purer water. Mr. Archer is
also having other improvements made in the
system.
Died in Texas.
Mrs. L. O. Huggins died in Sherman, Texas,
last Thursday. She was a former resident of
Stewart county, and removed to Texas about
four years ago. She was a sister of Mr. P. *B.
Williford, Mr. J. J. Williford, of Americus, Mrs.
E. P. Pearson, of Lumpkin, and Mrs. O. E. Lowe,
of Buena Vista. She left five children. She had
many friends in this section who will learn of
her death with regret.
Among the Odd Fellows,
Last night Judge Win. W. Morris, of Louis
ville, presented a valuable book on Odd Fellow
ship to Columbus lodge No. 67. lu presenting
the book Judge Morris made n very bright and
eloquent talk on subjects of interest to members
of the order. The book was received for the
lodge by Rev. R. H. Harris in a short speech
that was greatly enjoyed by all present.
The Board of Control.
The committee appointed by the board of con
trol of the Columbus fire department to define the
powers of the board held a meeting last night.
They simply drafted some work which will have
to be put in shape by the cilv attorney and sub
mitted to council. The idea prevails that the
powers of the board are too limited in some mat
ters connected with the department, and the ob
ject of the committee is to have them enlarged.
I*>st lllsSacliel.
Last night while Mr. W. L. Slaughter, a com
mercial traveler from Virginia, was on route
from the Runkiu house to the depot to take the
Macon train he lost his sachel from the hack.
The loss was discovered on arriving at the depot
and a search was at once made along the route,
but the sachel could not be found. Its contents
are of a character that make them more valuable
to Mr. Slaughter than to any one else, and he re
mained over last night for the purpose of making
further effoits to recover it. He offers a liberal
reward in the Enquiuer-Sun this morning for
the delivery of the sachel to the Rankin house.

cently purchased a small farm at Waverly Hall

closely identified with us.

LIVINGSTON’S LONGING.
J. W. Livingston, the white man who is in jnil
charged with burglarizing the residence of Mr.
J. J. Wood, wrote the following note to a promi
nent citizen yesterday:
“SiiipConvent op the Black Veil, Black Sba
October 12,1886.—Dear Sir: I am 160 odd days out,
and still no signs of land. My hull shows a dis
position to. associate itself with worms and mv
spars and rigging are symbolic relics of an
Indian typhoon. ‘Piratioally speaking.’ I am
not worth powder to blow me to—the next
degree of latitude. The cow-pea being
immortal and never Billing os the rainbow, I am
not short of provisions, but the sum total of a
sailor’s happiness is wanting. I have searched
every locker in the ship for a chew of tobacco
and found it wanting. Drifting as I am on an
unknown sea, denied like the Flying Dutchman
to make a port, I take the liberty to ask you, in
the mime of Neptune and the gods generally, to
kindly heed the appeal of an ancient manner
for a little tobacco. ’Tis hard to get down to the
Italian business, but I am in a literal h—1 with
out tobacco. Trusting you will consider my con
dition, I remain, Very respectfully,
“J. W. Livingston.”
HARRIS SUPERIOR COURT.
The Dixon-CliristiHii Case Taken Up and the Trial
Begun.
Much interest is felt here in the result of the
trial in Harris superior court of Mr. S. M. Dixon,
of this city, charged with the killing of Mr. J. O.
Christian, of,Meriwether county, while the for
mer was depot agent at Chipley. A special from
Hamilton to the Enquirer-Sun last night says:
“Court convened this morning with Judge
Boynton presiding. The case of the State-vs. S.
M. Dixon, charged with muidcr, was called.
After a little sparring between opposing counsel
both sides announced ready. The greatest
interest was immediately manifested by the
crowds gathering around the bar. The morn
ing was consumed in getting up a jury. The
panel of forty-eight was exhausted by excusing
thirteen jurors for cause. In the afternoon
Major I'ark, of Greenville, presented the case of
the state, owing to the illness of the solicitor
Two witnesses for the state were examined—
Vardeman and Mason—after which court took a
recess until 8 o’clock to-morrow. A brilliant ar
ray of counsel appears for both sides, and every
point will be closely contested. No expert can
now foretell the result of the ease.”

until May, 1870, when he would be of age. This
was approved of by 8. F. Hayne, superintendent
of freedmeu, at Augusta, Ga. Without the
parents’consent Bethune took Tom out of the
state and put him on exhibition as a pianist In
1876 Tom became a citizen of New York. While
on exhibition in Virginia Tom was declared a
lunatic, and Mr. Bethune’s son, %John G. Be
thune, was declared a committee of his person.
The latter acted as Tom’s manager till
1884, when he died. The elder Bethune was
then appointed. In the meantime Toni’s
mother removed to tin’s city. She brought
suit against Bethune for the services of her son,
and an accounting of the profits of the exhibition
since 18.\6. That suit in pending at Alexandria.

unless the court decides the other children as
relations; lienee the application to Judge Dono
hue. Affidavits state that though possessed of
wonderful musical ability, he is an idiot. The
application was denied on the ground that pro
ceedings should be instituted in the state where
the committee was find appointed.”
A House Burned Near Hurtsboro.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.
Hurtsboro, Ala..October 13.—Mrs. E. F. Borom
had the misfortune of loosing her residence this
afternoon at 1 o’clock, toeether with the entire
contents, by fire. The house is situated six
miles north of Hurt shore at Bororaville. The
origin of the fire is supposed to be from a spark
from the cook stove adjoining the house. The
building was one of the finest in this section.
The loss is estimated at $7000 with no insurance.
A Fatal Bide.
The Americus Recorder says: “Quincy, the
fourteen-year-old son of Mr. T. J. Ferguson, who
lives just over the line of Lee and Sumter, sad
dled a young horse Sunday moreing for the pur
pose of taking a ride From some cause the
horse became frightened and began running
away despite Quincy’s efforts to hold him. He
soon became entirely unmanageable, and threw
his rider violently to the ground, rendering him
for the time unconscious. He was taken up and
carried to the house, where every assistance pos
sible was rendered, but his injuries were so se
vere that he died in three-quarters of an hour
afterward.”
A Serial Eveut.
The winter rage of fashionable theatre parties
have extended to the entertainments given under
canvas. An exchange, iu speaking of the excel
lence of John B. Dorris’ great inter-ocean show,
refers to a new aud very stylish custom: “Notice
able in the reserved seat portion of the mammoth
tent was the circus sociable, given by a number
of our most prominent conviviabie gentlemen to
their lady friends; comfortable and elegantly
cushioned chairs were reserved especially for
their exclusive benefit, by the management. The
i dea is a very good one, and we are glad to learn
that tne appreciation of such respectable amuse
ments will grow rapidly, as evinced by the superb
exhibition given by Mr. Dorris here.” Dorris’
circus will exhibit in Columbus on Saturday,
October 23.
BLIND TOM AGAIN.
Judge Donohue Denies the Application Made bjr
His Mother.
Blind Tom is still in the courts. A telegram
from New York says: “Judge Donohue, of the
supreme court, has denied the application of
Charity Wiggins, the mother of Thomas Wig-
gius, known as “Blind Tom,” the wonderftil pian
ist, to have his mental condition inquired iuto
and his estate cared for. Tom’s father’s name
was Mingo. He is dead. Both fhther aud mother
were Georgia slaves. Tom was born in this state
in 1819. When he was four years old the wi ole
family were sold as slaves to James W.
Bethune, with whom they remained until
freed by the war. Under au agreement Tom
was placed in control of Bethune for five years
