Local Happenings of the Week in Browno- ville and Girard. An Eneouraglng Profipect—Vot DmiI-Knights of Labor and Their Orunn -OirnrJ Baptist Church festival—Minor News Notes. Our little sister Browneville, just across 1 the Chattahoochee, is still on a boom, numerically, socially and morally. The week just past was not very eventftil, but still there is evidence of life all along the line. New buildings are going up, new stores are being opened, new citizens are moving in, new enterprises are being inau gurated, and citizens generally are cheerful and hopeful. The temperance men are advancing slowly but surely, and have appointed delegates to the state temperance alliance, which meets in Montgomery on next Tuesday, 16th. This alli ance will take action looking to unconditional prohibition in Alabama. As to morals and re ligion, the community is decidedly on an im proving scale, and the Browneville of to-day is not the Browneville often years ago. A petition is being circulated asking the legislature now in session to make certain amendments to the town charter by which a portion of the revenue raised for municipal purposes shall be devoted to the cause of education. Altogether the outlook for Browneville is hopeful, and the prospect for increase and expansion quile flattering. Mot Bead. ■Later news from Texas is to the effect that neither the doctor nor his brother John Palmer is dead. The latter was seriously eut by a tramp at Corsicana and was expected to die, but didn’t. On the contrary, he is rapidly recovering, and wishes his friends hereabouts to be made ac quainted with the fact. John, when in Browne ville, was considered a very worthy youth, and his old friends here will be glad to hear that he -did not succumb to the assault of an unprincipled assassin. The Knights and the Investigator. We see by yesterday’s edition that the K. of L. have endorsed the Brownevjlle Investigator as their organ. So far so good. They have a right to an organ if they want one, and the Invesliga- iorjso far presents good claims for a liberal support. But it will strike the general reader that the K. of L. go a little too far in the way of boycott when they assert that a certain class of advertisements •shall not appear therein. It is claimed for our country that it is the laud of freedom—free re ligion, free speech aud free business alliances. Whatever the government and states may toler ate cannot best be suppressed by proscription Browneville* Brief*. The dust is downed at last. Good showers fell on Weduesday and Thurs day. Mr. D. E. Wade is still considered critically ill. Mr. B. M. Smith is building a handsome resi dence at his country seat a mile or two west of town. The tax collector will make his last call next Thursday and Friday, 18th and 19tli. The county line briok store is soon to be occu pied by Mr. E. Jefferson. Mr. M. T. Lynn reports nothing new in sport ing circles. No big stories of birds and ducks. Mr. Dan Littleton, who has been running as train hand on the Central railroad, is on a visit o old friends in Browneville. There are two or three cases of serious illness in the vicinity, but it is hoped that the present healthful breezes will soon restore perfect health. Marshal Miller says Lively is still running on its good benavior, aud that there have been no arrests and no cause for arrests the past week. Chestnut Bell—We shall say nothing more about the drouth at present, but we can’t help b serving that the river is still very low. Prof. Yarborough gave his closing soiree Thursday night. His dancing pupils aud friends passed a very enjoyable evening. GIB A III) (ILKANINOS. Leading Event of the Week—The Lougfttrect Bavine— Personal and Other News Notes. Girard is not afflicted with sensations. Her •citizens are not built that way. They are a mat ter-of-fact sort of folk, who work hard for their daily bread, and who love law and order, peace and sobriety. There may be occa sional cases of disorder, but they are few and far between, and, altogether, old Girard is remarka bly well behaved. The only event which at tracted attention the past week was the ladies’ festival, gotten up for the benefit of the new Bap tist church. It was held on Thursday, Friday and last nights. Notwithstanding the rather unpro- pitious weather it was well attended throughout, and resulted in the realization of a neat little ■sum for the promotion of a good cause, to say nothing of the social aspects of the affair. We learn that Rev. R. II. Bullock lias been again called to serve this church for the ensuing year. There has been a decided and marked ad vance in the spiritual and material welfare of the church under the administration of this gen tleman during the past year. Completed ai Last. The brick culvert across the Long street gully has at last been completed to the satisfaction of those appointed to receive and pass upon the work. Of course there will be found growlers who will not and cannot be satisfied in any thing. If the work saves the road at that weak point it is a success. If it does not, as in the case of bridges, the contractor should be held liable. News Briefs and Personals. There was one interment in the cemetery. The solicitor-general of the gypsies is in town. Miss Grace Jackson has gone on a visit to friends in Eufaula. U. L. Martin and son attended the fair at Montgomery. Mr. Walter Howard has gone on a visit of love and affinity to Wewahitchka, Fla. Miss Mary Lou Howard and Miss Ora Somer- kamp left per Naiad Tuesday on a visit to Florida. Miss Wanna Dudley, of Birmingham, is visit ing relatives. The trustees of the Peabody School have re ceived $300 from the Peabody fund, for which the citizens will feel very thankful. The lady who lost twenty turkeys Thursday, found them next day up the creek and has since been quite happy. The town treasury has been replenished slight ly by fines and the officers are in better spirits. A good many of the citizens are getting ready to attend court again at Seale this week when the criminal docket will be taken up. A Card of Thanks. We herewith tender our earnest and heartfelt thanks to the many kind friends who so nobly came forward with generous contributions, and also to those who by their presence and liberal patronage helped us to carry our three uights festival to a successful issue. May Heaven bless you all is the sincere wish of the Girard Baptist Ladies Aid Society. Old Nick’s Tail Cut Off. Dr. R. H. McCutcheon, Lively Drug Store, Lively, Alabama, conducts the Drug and Seed business precisely on the principle and in accord and full sympathy with a sentiment we once heard at a camp meeting from a pious, zealous and ever responsive old darkey.

Our New Solicitor-General. The Hamilton Journal has the following to say of the election of the new solicitor-general: “The election of James H. Worrill solicitor- general of the Chattahoochee circuit , while it de- feats the hopes wo entertained for our talented j townsman, promotes to office a friend | whom we esteem highly. He will make au ex- | eellent officer, and while we would have been happier to have had the position coufeired upon a son of Harris county, we are still happy that it is conferred upon one of her sons-in-law. A Jail Breaker Arrested. The Eufhula Times says : “On last Sunday evening about dark there were six prisoners broke Columbus, Ga., jail and made good their i escape. On Wednesday evening about 0 o’clock, I when Mr. Barney Rhody comes on duty, and im mediately in front of Pat Morris’ saloon, he pass ed a man by the name of J. W. Livingston, whom he knew had been in jail at Columbus, charged with burglary, but thinking he had had his trial and come clear, did not arrest him. But when he got to McCormick & Richardson’s corner, where the balance of the force was,and told them about it, Marshal Pippin told him that there had been a jail breaking in Columbus and that said Livingston was one of the number who had escaped. Mr. Rhody, in company with Messrs. Brown and James, went to arrest him. They found him eating supper at a colored eating house kept by Charity Griggs, and arrested and lodged him iu jail. An officer from Columbus came after him Iasi night.” HOTEL ARRIVALS. RANKIN HOUSE. L. Cartlebert, If. Y.; Fred T. Ilisson, N. Y.; W. M. Lowentliall, Agt. Patti RosajW.B. Dix, Spring- field, O.; Jas.

A Meeting of the Temperance People—Other Notes of General Interest. Correspondence Enquirer-Sun. Seale, Ala., November 13.—A meeting was held at theN^ourt house last night for the purpose of selecting five delegates to represent Russell coun ty at the prohibition convention in Montgomery next week. The following gentlemen were se lected : Rev. J. A. Howard, Rev. D. C. Crook, R. P. Dexter, W. J. Boykin and R. Wiluier Waddell. Rev. Dr. Chambliss, of Union Springs, was ex pected to be present and address the meeting, but a telegram was received in the afternoon from the doctor stating that it would be impossi- for him to come. Prof B. J. Conyers was invited to speak, and though he had no time for prepara tion his lecture was an able and interesting one. Circuit court will re-convene Monday. The most important case on the docket is that of Lynn Ogletree, charged with the murder of Needham Bennefield. It is set for Thursday. Miss Genie Walker, of your city, was here yes terday en route to Glennville, wnere she goes to visit the Misses Perry. Miss Bettie Boykin, of Auburn, is the guest of Mrs. W. A. Bellamy. Seale sent a handsome delegation to the Mont gomery fair. The body as a unit profess them selves well pleased with the fair; and especially with the exhibits from Oswichee. The Seale Shakespearean Society will meet at the academy Wednesday night. The play of Julius Ctesar will be read. The young men of the town are thinking of organizing an anti-shaving club. Shaving will be made a criminal offence, punishable with a fine of $1 for each offence. TIIE BLOODY DOOR BAB. Mr. Reuben Sanders has His Head Broken While Peacefully numbering In His Bed—Warrants Issued for Tol and Joe Carden. The Russell Register has the following account of the murderous attack on old man Sanders, al ready noticed in the Enquirbr-Sun : An attempt was made last Friday night to mur der Mr. Reuben Sanders, an aged citizen of near llatchechubbee. The would-be murderers effected an entrance into the house by climbing in at the chimney, as indicated by the foot prints. An iron bar was re moved from the door, and, as the old man lay peacefully slumbering, it was brought down across his head with all the force of a mighty arm. Instant death would have been the result, but for one circumstance—the old man’s left hand was lying across his face. So powerful was the blow that his thumb was cut off, two of his fingers badly mashed and his skull broken. He now lies in an unconscious and c.itical condition. There seems to be no chance for his recovery. Mr. Sanders lived in his house alone. Suspicion pointed to Messrs. Tol aud Joe Car den as perpetrators of the deed, and warrants were issued for their arrest. Sheriff Ballamv and his vigilant deputies have been unable to procure their arrest, though they came very near getting Tol Tuesday morning. Deputies Chadwick and Bishop shadowed their men Monday night, and Tuesday morning track ed them to their father’s home. Neither of the deputies knew either of their men. They ap proached the house cautiously, but before they reached it a man came out and bolted lor the woods. The deputies followed in hot pursuit. Two women, two children and a number ol dogs joined in the chase. The dogs, women and chil dren were after the deputies and not the fugi- 1 The race was a close one, but the fugitive was long-winded and licet of Got. After running about a mile and a half the deputies gave up the Iii the meantime Mr. Chadwick had found it necessary to shoot one ol the dogs. I he women and children were left far behind, but were push ing bravely on when they met tlie deputies re- It'is highly probable that both men will be ar rested in a few days. Weekly Bank Statement. New York, November 13.—Following is the statement of the New York associated banks for the week, and which shows the following changes : Reserve increase Loans increase JSi’JS; Specie increase Legal tenders increase 1 Deposits increase l,0 S inn Circulation decrease v °“ ,uu The banks now hold $7,891,350 in excess of the 25 per cent. rule. Tin* t'annoh Burst. Galesburg, 111., November 13.—During the celebration at Knoxville over the elec- j tion of Gen. Post as congressman from the j 10th district a cast iron cannon,with which : a salute was being fired, burst, instantly | killing Henry Arms, a young merchant, i who was walking on the sidewalk 200 feet ; from where the cannon stood, a piece of the iron, weighing five and a half pounds, striking him in the back between the | shoulders. Quite a number of boys and men standing around the cannon escaped Correspondence Enquirer-Bun, Apalachicola, November 11.— It has been some time since I have had the pleas ure to drop you a line relative to Apalachi cola's prospects for this season, and to give you an idea of our trade. Wo now have in our harbor the follow ing large vessels loading for all parts of the world, viz: British bark Sivian Star, 5117 tons. British bark Caledonia, 1112 tons. British hark Romeo, 499 tons. Britisli hark Julia II., 579 tons. British hark Julius, Stitf tons. British bark Colorado, OtXi tons. Portugese bark Oliuda, 317 tons. American bark Adelaide, (138 tons. American schooner Belle Horgeu, 451 tons. American schooner Albert Butler, 327 tons. There i3 also in port twenty or more small coasting schooners. In my last article I gave you an idea of our commerce for the year ending July 1, 188(1, but I will give it again: The exports wore $ 161,000 Lumber, shingles, etc., shipped coast wise 15,000,000 Merchandise received lor Apalachicola and inland 1,000,000 Our saw mills have the following capaci ties: Feet Per Day. Cypress Lumber Company 75,000 Coombs & Co 45,000 L>. M Muuil & Co 45,000 Swindell Brothers 45,000 Brasil Mill .. 45,000 C. H. Purlin 45,000 Reynolds Si Co 45,000 Total per day 545,000 Besides the sawn lumber a large number of cargoes of “square or hewn timber’’ is shipped by I). M. Munn & Co., and Swin dell Bros, to all parts of Europe. It is an acknowledged fact that we have the finest and more aeoesssble timber than any other gulf port. Some of our mill men are very much afraid that the great advantages of Apalachicola as a timber port will be known and do all they can to prevent timber men from knowing the great facilities we have for purchasing, selling and shipping lumber and timber. The finest of pine,' and cypress sell here to the mills at from $3.50 to ft) per 1000 feet. The L. W. Smith Oyster-Co., composed of L.W. Smith and H. Ruge and sons, will begin to day to pack the celebrated can ned oyster known as “Alligator Brand.” This brand is superior to the celebruted “Saddle Rock” and already orders are coming in for thousands of cans. Then take the fine salted mullet, which are sold by A. J. Mnrat in large quantities. Then comes the sponge trade, managed by F. Ruge & Son., John Cook and Frank Messina,which leaves large sums of money in our city. With all the lumber, timber, oysters, sponge and fish industries, our 3500 to 4000 inhabitants find employment with good paying wages. What we want is a railroad, and we hope to get one from Eufaula, Ala., to Apalachi cola before very long, and with Congress man Grimes to assist our efficient delega tion, we hope to have the Chattahoochee river kept navigable all the year. Franklin. OCEAN STEAMERS. Honey Lost on Speedy Roots and Earned on the Slow-fining Vessels. A llotol on Fire. [SVILLE, November 13.—7:20 p. m.— ouisville hotel is on fire. It is feared be a total loss. New York Mail. It has been clearly demonstrated that fast ships do not pay, and if one line has a fleet of greyhounds all lines must follow suit. The vast cost represented by the efficiency in speed already attained by the large vessels now engaged in the trans- Atlantic trade is enormous. The original outlay of money in building these ships is counted as nothing. It is the working ex penses. The coal consumed by the Cunard ships alone is estimated at 500,000 tons per year. Comparing the performance of a ship like the Etruria with the Britannic, it is apparent that the difference in time is gained at too great cost. The Britannic burns on an average 100 tons of coal a day. Her average time in making a trip is eight and a half days. The amount of coal thus necessary for the voyage is 850 tons. The Etruria, on the other hand, which occupies six ana a half days, or two days less than the Britannic, consumes 320 tons of coal per day, or over 2000 tons of coal on the voy age. To save two days requires an extra consumption of coal to the amount of 1200 tons and more. The enormous increase in horse power required to put a knot or a fraction of a knot in speed explains the difference in the coal consumption of the two ships. The additional expense does not end here. Not only is it true that the Britannic can mnke a voyage with about one-third the amount of coal that is neces sary for the Etruria, but she has much more space available for carrying freight or passengers. The room required for the bunkers of a ship that has to carry the amount of coal neces sary to feed boilers like those of the Etru ria, is an important item. Then again, en gines to indicate a horse power necessary to drive one of the big ships at a rate per mitting her to make the trip in six days nud a half costs infinitely more to build than those that can be made to do their work with the steam that a hundred tons of coal will generate. They also, like the coal bunkers, encroach upon the vessel's space. As most of the shippers and im porters are engaged in a business that will not suffer in consequence of a day’s delay, and as safety at sea is the first considera tion in matters of ocean travel, it is conceded that vessels that can make the trip in eight days, or eight days and a few hours, are the most profitable and therefore the most desirable. Shippers will not be forced to pay excessive freights to make good the increased cost of speed and the decreased amount of carrying capacity. Passengers will he able to se«uro more commodious quarters and at a less cost, aud the dangers of collison and the fatal consequences attending the same, will be diminished; besides which, the steamship companies can live and make money. As an instance of the undesirabili ty of the exceptionally fast steamers, the Atlantic Express Service has been discon tinued by mutual consent. The service comprised the city of Rome and the America, and has been run under the Uag of the Anchor line. HOW SAILORS VIEW BIRDS AT SEA. Some »f the Feathered Trlln- llrine Hood Lock. Others Mi-utl l! Isforlune. Sailors are credited with being the most superstitious persons living. They have whims, fancies and beliefs connected with every ordinary occurrence of daily life, and their actions are all influenced by some one or more of these occurrences. On land they watch for black eats, cross-eyed peo- plej ladders, and many other objects, and on sea their lives are made happy or un happy by many of the lesser rather than greater scenes of the voyage. They are be lievers in fate,and when atsea they say their fate is more or less influenced by the birds that come and perch on their masts or yards. An old and educated sea captain, who has weathered many storms, been shipwrecked a dozen times and who is yet hearty and hale, was met recently on one of the wharbs that surround this city by a reporter for the Mail and Express. The weather-beaten tar and the scribe adjourn ed to a neighboring hostelry, and over some steaming hot grog and cigars they chatt-’d about the superstitions connected with birds at sea. “Yes,” said the captain, an he blew a long, thin column of smoke through his lips and watched it, curling fantastically through the air. "Yea, we have a few lit tle fancies when at sea about birds, and some are a little scared when a gull or a swallow perches on our mast, but, as a rule, we are pleased to see these feathery beauties, especially after along voyage, for then we know weare nearing land and will soon be among our Iriends again. The bo lief of old soldiers is that if an albatross be slaughtered it at once becomes necessary to keen one's weather eye lifting for squalls, but that no harm follows if the bird be caught with a piece of fat pork and is allowed to die a natural death on j deck. The common house sparrow is much ! respected at sea. It iH gravely asserted that should sparrows be blown away to sea and alight upon a ship they are not to be taken or even chased away, for in proportion as the birds are molested must sail be shortened to provide against the storm that will certainly come. The harmless and beautiful gull, whose lovely sweepings and carvings through the air, whose exquisite self-hahineitig capacity in the teetli of a living gnle, whose bright eyes, salt, shrewd voice and webbed feet folded in bosoms of ermine it is impossible to sufficiently admire, has a commercial virtue t hat sets it high in the longshore man's catalogue of tilings to be approved. When this bird appears in great numbers then is its presence accepted as an infalli ble sign of the neighborhood of herring shoals. JACK HAVERLY ARRESTED. lie Snjs It Wus an Attempt to Squeeze Him for an Old Hue lit New York. Chicago, November 12.—Mooney and Boland, the detectives, to-day arrested J. H. Haverly at the instance of Harry Miner, of New York, and it took a writ of habeas corpus to restore him to his liberty. Mr. llaverly says that some time ago he was arrested in New York oil an action for debt and gave hail, with Harry Miner ns surety. Then he came west ana judgment was taken by default. llaverly claims that he returned to New York and renewed the bond after Miner hud asked to be released, fearing that llaverly did not intend to re turn. A writ authorizing a prisoner to be taken wherever found to satisfy a bond was, however, issued in New York and sent to this city, and the arrest followed. When llaverly was taken into custody a petition for a writ of habeas corpus was prepared, llaverly representing that he feared he would be hurried to New York unless rescued from the hands of the de tectives. In the meantime ho was released on bail pending a bearing of the ease, John Howling being his surety in the buih of $3500. “The whole thing,’’ said Mr. Haverly after his release, “is that it is an attempt to collect a civil debt by a crimi nal process. I owed a little over f1000 in New York, and made an agreement to pay $500 a month. I have already paid $3000, and there is ’about $1300 balance. A few days ago I notified the New York parties that I would be unable to pay this month, and this is simply an attempt to squeeze it out of me.” ^ Kvcnlmr Marriages Fin hidden. Philadelphia Record, November 8. Archbishop Ryan, in carrying out the decrees of the recent council at Baltimore, has enjoined the priests in this diocese from performing marriage ceremonies in the evening. He insists that weddings in church must take place with a nuptial ninss, or, tailing in that, as early in the af ternoon as possible. Under none but the most urgent circumstances will a marriage ceremony be allowed to take place after sundown. A prominent Catholic prelate, in speaking of tills decree, said it was the spirit of the church to surround tho nup tial ceremony with all the impressiveness and sanctity possible. “In the Catholic church,” he said, “matrimony is one of the sacraments, and should only be receiv ed with the most intense devotion. The couple to be married should he ill a state of grace—that is, they should have made a general confession and be prepared to receive the holy communion at the nuptial mass, and thus begin their new life with a feeling that they will be strengthened by the sacraments of the church in the many trials they will have to contend with. The archbishop desires to increase the happiness of the married state, and he feels that this can lie done by impressing the members of his Hock with the importance of the step they are taking, and by compelling them to observe the forms prescribed by the church for the marriage ceremony. Hereafter in this dio cese, and 1 have no doubt in all the dio ceses in this country, instead of a collide rushing into a church and being wedded with a form that lasts about five minutes they will have to be wedded with the church’s greatest ceremony—a inass.” A SCHOOL FOR THIEVES. An KngliHh Convict's Way of Tcaclilng by Ex- ample—The Fish ho Is Angling For. An English ex-convict tells this story to a London Telegraph reporter concerning a school for thieves which he has the repu tation of keeping: “Oh, it hain’t a school at all,” he replied, with a laugh, “and it is all nonsense calling it one. It got the name of being one a long time ago, and it has stuck to it ever since. It became known that. I used to have luds up here of evenings, and I was waited on by a police inspector. ‘J have come to warn you,’ says he, ‘that we have informa tion tiiat you keep a school for the instruc tion of young thieves. If it is so, you will have to put a stop to it or you will find yourself in your old quarters.’ ‘All right,’ says I, ‘you shall come and hear for your self what it is I teach them.’ ‘There would be a lot of good in that,’ says he, ‘there would he a rather short attendance if it is known that I was to he present. Besides, if they did come you wouldn’t lie such a fool as to give ’m their ordinary lessons.’ ‘I said,’ says I,‘that you should hear for yourself not that you should be seen, if you wouldn’t mind passing an hour this even ing in that back attic ; there is only a thin partition between it and this one, and lots of chinks you can peep through. You can satisfy yourself and nobody hut you and me need he any wiser.’ And the inspector agreed to the plan, and came and slipped into the hack attic at the time mentioned, and there he staid till the entertainment was all over and the hoys had gone. And then lie came out, and says he, ‘I shan’t trouble you any further, Jerry. It is a rath er backhanded way you have got in getting at them, hut it is better than no way at all. And he civilly wished ine good night, and I haven’t been interfered with by the police since. And so it is what may lie called a backhanded way,” continued Mr. Duff, “and it isn’t, pr’aps. a respecta ble way, and it might tie objected that there is underhandedness and artfulness in it; hut what odds about that so that good corned of it? It isn’t reading and writing that I teach them. I am far too ignorant a man for that. I tell them stories—sto ries of my life in the different prisons and of the crimes that got me there. That was the bait X held out to them when I first be gan to put the plan I bad long thought of in practice. They were too young to know anything about me themselves, hut they had. no doubt, heard all about me from tne older hands—and there are plenty of them living about here—and they were proud of the compli ment when 1 asked them to come np to my room, smoke a pipe and hear me spin a yarn concerning my life and adventures.

But tlie stirring adventures and dare-devil deeds, which, of course, they liked to hear about, were only tho sugar the pill was coated with. \Vhat I wanted them to un derstand without making too much of it was that for every sixpen’orth of pleasure obtained by crime it always, sooner or later, meets with a pound's worth of punishment. It don’t do to press this view of it too hard to them, or they will at once think you are gammoning. The way is to [Hit it so that they may find it out for themselves. They sometimes make their comments to that effect when 1 have fin ished a story I have been telling them. ‘Well, after all, Jerry, you didn’t get much of a pull. You paid pretty dear for what you did get, Jerry.’ To which I reply: ‘I never did get the pull, and 1 always paid dear for what I got. 1 had twenty-six years of it and eighteen of these were spent in prison, and, after all, here I am making footstools at two-pence ha’penny each and working fourteen hours a day to earn enough to buy me a hit of victuals and pay my lodging, and I tell vou I never was half as happy in all my life.’ It isn’t only of my own experience 1 tell them,” continued Jerry, the schoolmaster. “While I was at Dartmoor something went wrong with my insides, and I was nut in the infirmary as a nurse, ana was there eighteen months.
