Roberts, sheriff, appointed receiver. About the same tune, Colonel Mynatt, of Atlanta, hied a bill in the United States c * u .V rt / or , another creditor and had an Atlanta lawyer appointed receiver. Mr. Akin s receiver got possession and com- menced to sell oil' the goods. Colonel Mynatt then applied to Judge Fain to re move Akin’s receiver and have the Atlanta receiver put in charge. The case was heard in Atlanta Tuesday last, Mynatt and Carter on one side and Mr. Akin on the other. The decision was in favor of the state court receiver and a victory for Mr. Akin’s clients. Near Rockmart, the gin house of Mr. J. O. Waddell was fired by an incendiary. There were sixteen bales of cotton in the house, five of which belonged to Mr. Duke and the balance to renters. Tnero was also about 200(1 bushels of cotton seed in the house. The fire is supposed to huvi been the work of an incendiary. Allen Young, colored, was arrested on suspicion, as be was heard to say that Mr. Waddell would hear from him before Christmas. Sir. Waddell caused the negro to be ar rested some time ago, and, after keeping him in jail eight or ten days without a trial, set him free. On account of this, it is said, the negro made his threat, and when he heard that his gin had been burned he had a warrant sworn out for Young, and had him brought to town Mon day night. Tuesday morning lie demand ed his trial. The court waited until 2 o’clock for a prosecutor to put in his ap pearance, but no one authorized to repre sent Mr. Waddell showed up. The case was continued. Mr. Waddell’s los3 is about jilUOO; Insurance unknown. Quite a novel occurrence happened in Augusta Monday afternoon, causing a dis solution of copartnership between two young men of a prosperous firm. It seems that on Christmas day b >th desired the store kept open, but neither wished to re main in charge. Therefore, when the senior member left his younger partner closed the store and went off to enjoy him self. Monday both met again, and as a matter of course, a dispute arose, which was ended by the senior member opening tiie safe, during the absence of his partner, and taking therefrom all the money, to the amount of $1100. He then took brace of pistols and a horse ami buggy belonging to the firm, and left the city before his partner was aware of his actions, leaving a note stating what he had taken, and telling his partner he was welcome to the stock on hand, and could settle the bills of the firm. Both are well known young me-, and have done an excellent business. The remaining young man secured the services of Detective Purcell, who left Monday night for Waynesboro in pursuit of the fleeing senior member. Alabama. The furnace fires were lighted at Calera on Monday. William II. Miller killed J. W. Blakeslee at Mobile on Saturday. The warehouse at Gallion was destroyed by lire Monday morning, together with 150 bales of cotton. Work on the Montgomery and Florida has progressed to within five miles of the fifty mile post and all tiie trestling has been completed up to that point. On Christmas day, in a frolic near Mays- viHe, a negro woman aimed a shotgun at a man in fun ami the weapon was somehow discharged, killing him instantly. Mr. S. N. Kimball, formerly of Mobile, lias put in the lowest bids for the two con tracts for government dredging at Apa lachicola and Barrabella, Fla., both at 3-1 9-10 cents per yard. The lieutenant of engineers in charge wilt recommend the acceptance of the bid. One mile west of Huntsville “ . -- a- Memphis and Charleston knocked from the top of cards in the daytime and robbed at night. The sheriff and posse are looking for the others, Florltln. Captain John Sutherland puts his crew, at Santa Rosa life saving station, through regular drills in the different departments every Tuesday and Thursday, and the men are becoming quite expert In the manage ment and workings of the various life sav ing appliances. Pensacola Advance-Gazette: It Is so long since we heard of “bounty-jumping” that we thought its day was past, but it seems still to be practiced to some extent, as an officer from Atlanta went down to Fort Barrancas a few days since and ar rested a soldier who had deserted his com mand at the Atlanta barracks and re-en listed in either the artillery or marine corps. At Pensacola Wednesday evening about 8 o’clock one Lafayette Hamilton, colored, was run over by engine No. 611, on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, just above the union depot, and was instantly killed. Justice Esmonde, ex-officio coro ner, empanneled a jury of inquest, who brought in a verdict to the effect that Hamilton came to his death through his own neglect, as the railroad company had adopted every precaution to prevent such occurrences. Hamilton was killed right near the spot where two or three others had met a similar fate. Pensacola Pensacolean:: Last Wednes day there was enacted in this city, near the old public school house, a scene which exhibited in its strongest lights that charity which is most acceptable to God. It seems that there lias been going to the public school a little boy who is The children of the assisted by Professor several support, al No. 1, very badly crippled, so much so, that it is difficult for him to walk. Besides being afflicted he is very, very poor, being an orphan and dependent upon the pittance ini P Patterson and their teachers, proceeded to get up kind of Christmas present for the poor little fellow, and each pupil brought some gift, which, being placed together, filled some three or four large hampers. The children then formed In column, some bearing the hampers and other articles, which could not be placed in them, and in this way proceeded to the little fellow’s house and laid their offer ings at liis feet. As to who was the hap piest, the receiver or the givers, it is diffi cult to say. but one thing is sure, that one of God’s little creatures, whom He lias seen fit to afflict, has been made by the charitable hearts of his schoolmates to forget for a time his misfortune, and to enjoy the coming anniversary of the Prince of Peace.
