When asked what ner husband’s name was she could not tell, but said she would Rtep out side and find out from some other negroes who were standing near. Cartersviiie Courant-American: The Sa vannah Morning News, in its bright, new spring dress, looks more like a real metro politan daily th*n any of our Southern papers. It is lovely, and goes to prove ■what a thorough newspaper man Is at the helm. Col. Estill can well go out into the back yard and extend congratulations to himself. When old man Washington King killed himself in Vineville, a suburb of Macon, Sunday night, an investigation led to the fact that he left an estate valued at $350. He had a wife, who was the mother of sev eral children when he married her. He hail an illegitimate son himself. Another man came in and applied for letters of adminis tration on the estate, and these members of the King family appeared as heirs. As the circumstances of the case precluded the possibility of their coming in as legal heirs, they were told that they were barred. There being no other heirs the property will revert to the State.

An old gentleman arrived at Waycross on the train from Florida on Monday last, bolding a ticket for Eufaula, Ala.

A large moc casin happened to have his winter home directly under the heap, and when it began to get not he attempted to make his escape from the fiery furnace, but he was not like the three Hebrew children. About a week after Mr. Norris went to the same spot and saw one-half of the reptile protruding out of the ground, burned into a crißp. The bead was burned until it turned inside out and presented a ghastly sight. His little dug spied the apparently lifeless snake and went for him lively. After two or three attempts he jerked the snake from the hole, and the half of the body concealed in the ground jumped, squirmed ami wiggled around just like a live snake. It must be remembered that a week’s time intervened between the time the heap was burned and the snake found. The Baptist Convention o$ the State of Georgia was first organized in 1822 when Scarcely 25.000 Baptists answered to the roll call of faith in the State. The representa tion of the denomination, at the convention now assembled at Albany, is from a mem bership of over 100,000, of church members of this convention. At Borne, Ga., in 1880, the convention re ported 00,000. (in round numbers,) repre sented, Within the last year 10,500 have lieeu added to that number through accessions by baptism, which swells the total to 100,500.

This let ! t.be cars go, and away they went down the I grade toward the river. At the Washington st-ret crossing two of the cars jumped I the track and there was a crash. One of ■ tiie cars that got off the track was a fiat ear loaded with lumber; the other, was a freight box. Tile former was not much dam aged, but the latter was so badly shaken up that it will have to go to the shop for re pairs. Policeman Kemp caught the two small boys whose theft led to such mis chief, and carried them to the guard house. Late in tlie afternoon tlieir mothers called for them and had them released to them upon condition that each boy was to receive a good thrashing then and there. The life of a pilot is often mixed with ex citement, as was proven a few days ago in the experience of Capt. Elias Peerson and others of the pilot boat Telegram, of Bruns wiek. Whilst about ten miles from St. Simon’s Light, out at sea, Capt. Peerson dis covered a porpoise about eight feet long running along by the side of his boat as they naturally do. The Captain took his har poon and burled it into him, and then he and Mart in, the cook, seized the line and en deavored to check the monster’s onward course. The harder they pulled the faster he ran, and the hotter the repo got in passing through their fingers. They were finally jerked flat on the deck, but not until tne rope had burned the Captain's bands very badly. The end of the rope having been firmly tied to the boat something hail to give way when the whole of it was played out, and as the boat was tao heavy awl the rojie and har poon too strong to break the fish’s flesh had to pay the penalty, which it did. Capt. Penrson s hands are still bouud up. FLORIDA. Jefferson county's poach crop promises to be a goixl one. Dr. H. J. Long, of Enterprise, has pur chased the Sanford market. The Orange City and New Smyrna rail road is said to be doing a good business. L. G. Prescott, of Eustis, has donated a site for a Baptist church overlooking Lake Graeie. There are six men in Orlando whose weight collectively amounts to over 1,500 pounds, and twenty men who weigh over '-.'oo pounds each also reside in the mty. Mayor Lilientlial, of Sanford, has pre sented the Gate City Band with a handsome gold watch to be raffled for the purpose of buying uniforms with the proceeds arising therefrom. In the claim of Mr. Edwards, who asked for SI,OOO damages of the Sanford and Lake Eustis railroad for running their track though his homestead, was awarded S6O by the arbitrators who went, out on Wednesday. A bunch of half a dozen orange carrots has been exhibited in Orlando, varying in circumference from 5 to 0 1-2 inches, and in length from 12 to 27 inches. The vegetables with their tops would have filled a bushel basket. Thomas F. Huggins is authority for the statement that in the boring of an ar tesian well at Itoluir Grove, near Sanford, at the depth of 100 feet, there were strong indications of oil. The belief exists that a strong oil vein is in close proximity. At Marianna a, fire broke out in and burned to the ground the servant’s house on the lot owned by George R. Smith last Monday. An infant of the woman occupy ing the house was seriously burned. The fire was kept from spreading and no other damage was done. The Orlando Record announces that it will issue, on or about July 4, a sixteen-page trade edition of 10,000 copies. A special feature of the edition will be a prize article on the subject “What can be done on five acres in South Florida 1” for which a each prize of $25 is offered. A young negro man was raptured near Reddick last wi-ek while in the act of set ting fire to George Sanders' residence. He was jailed under throe charges—firing a house, carrying concealed weapons and en - tering a house m the night time. The dam fig. to Mr. Sanders’ house was slight. Ocala Free Press: The Savannah News came out in anew and handsome summer suit Thursday, improving it immensely. The only difference about it is that the ed itor failed to sav anything or commend it to the people. The News is a great paper and the people of Florida love it for its de votion to their interests. The water works of the Leon Hotel, Tal lahassee, were completed Saturday and set to work. The capacity of the pump is about 7,000 gallons of water per hour. The source of water supply is a spring near the gas works. Time large jets of pure water burst out of the hillside in sufficient quantity to much more than supply the demands of the Loon. A sneak thief entered the promises of Col, Henderson, at Tallahassee, while his family were at church Sunday night and carried off £SOO worth of jewelry, etc., consisting of the following: A set of diamond earrings, several pieces of silverware, including a sugar dish, forks, spoons, knives, and table linen; also a silver Waltham open face watch with chain and locket, a small dock, photo albums, etc. The only articles known to have been marked were the solid silver spoons, marked “W.” One hundred dollars reward is offered for the capture of the thief. E. W. Speir began his career as post master at Orlando when the mail was brought to his office by an ox team, the en tire contents of the bag being counted on the lingers. The time now consumed in the transmission of a letter from New York city to Orlando is less than half that re quired in the early days of Mr. Spoil 's ad ministration to receive one from Jackson sonvillo. All the office required at that, time for the convenient transaction of its business was a square box containing twen ty-four pigeon holes placed on an empty flour barrel. Home ten days or two weeks ago two judgments were issued from the Justice Court in Sanford over which Capt. William Mirrine manipulates the gavel. The judg ments were against Mr. Dawes, who is a contractor on the Florida Midland rail road. The judgments were placed in the hands of Sheriff Anderson, of Orlando, for collection. The Sheriff proceeded to l/'-ng wood, where, outlie arrival of a train, he chained and locked it to the track, where it remain'd until the judgments, one for k.V and another for s!i4. Were paid, to gether with tho cost of suit in the case. Anew deal is on {<x>t to tight the Jackson vilie 'linn’s t 'nlon.

It was also rumored that the Shoemaker estate had subscribed $5,000 to the fund raised to reduce the price of the lot and thus influence the selection of the site, and also that the services of Gen, Alexander, of Savannah, a citizen of another city, had been enlisted in the efforts to have that site selected. The citizens besides boirtg excit ed were exceedingly indignant aud pro nounced the selection of the lot in one end of the city an outrage, and much talk of an indignation meeting was heard on the streets. A MORMON THEATRE. Salt Lake City Dramatics in the Time of Brigham Young Funny Incidents. Virginia City (-Ver.) Cor. Philadelphia Press. 11l the early days of the mining cities and of Mormonism it was curious to visit the theatre in Salt Lake City and see old Brig ham Young, his wives and his numerous progeny march in and out. No company was ever allowed to play there unless one of Brigham’s spies was stationed at a “peep hole" back or tbe scenery to note if any of his wives or daughters winked, or made any sign to the players, while from the front his priests and elders watched. Money was a scarce commodity with these people, and com, grain and even vegetables were ex changed for admission tickets. Brigham always exacted of each company perform ing there so many seats for his family, the women all oh one side and tbe priests, elders aud councils on the opposite. Once a company iif actors, composed of Shelby, Atkinson and a number of others from St. Louis, strayed to Salt Lake City to play that much-abused “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and the last remark of old Ben Deßar to the boys as they left St. Louis was “Look out for the poly-gals. If Brigham gets into vour flirting you will walk home, for he will stop the show!" They opened at the Salt Lake City Theatre to an immense audience, Brigham and his tribe being pres ent, but unfortunately one of the younger actors, Sam Hooley, standing at the door as the performance was over, attempted to pass a note to one of Brigham’s 'laughters. He was detected, and given twelve hours to leave town. The company, however, were allowed to play their three nights’ engagement, but no Mormon dared to come, as the edict had gone forth, and the company were obliged to get the agent of Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Ex press to liquidate part of their bills, for warding their baggage with a c. o. and. tag for the amount incurred, to be paid at Deli ver, Col., their next stopping place. In a little adobe cabin lust out from Win nemucoa, and near what was formerly Camp McClellan then under command of Lieut. Karge, now Professor of Languages at Princeton College, there is an old ma hogany table. On it, cut in deem with a knife, is this inscription: “J. w. Booth, May, 1850.” The old man who keeps the house, and moved from Virginia City there ill 18G4, says: “I bought ther table from one on ’em spouters what used ter play in ’(Jinny City.” Is it a relic of J. Wilkes Booth? Then he can be added to the list of players who gathered in the shekels from the'Pa eifle coast people, and who, passing away or rising to a notch of fame on the stick of time, are remembered as the early actors of the frontier. Fashion Notes for Spring. Jackets and ulsters, both tight-fitting, are in great demand this spring. Half high boots and low shoes will again be in vogue for summer wear. Pongee costumes are made up over seal brown or moss-green petticoats. The fashionable stocking is black, or some very dark shade of brown or blue. Cashmere, repped silks and moire are the fabrics most used for dressy spring toilettes, A novelty in spring woolens is Valentia, having velvet and plush stripes on plain sur faces. Fawn color and dark shades of steel and brown are the leading favorites for tailor made gowns. Very high collars, stiff with gold or sil ver embroidery, are used on handsome re ception toilets. The old-fashioned stringless “flower bon nets" are to lie worn this summer under the new name of the “Chaperon.” Bias-fronted bodices are tieing extensively usrd for mohairs, India silks, batistes and other soft, thin summer fabrics. Brims of bonnets will continue to be cov erisl with gathered velvet. The velvet is ofteij of the same color as the toilet. Ruches of pinked or notched silk arc placed around the brims of capotes which are intended to lie worn without strings. Ribbon bows are in great favor on all the summer toilets, and when mixed with light laces and muslins the effect is very good. Full suits in different shades of one color are to be much worn during the spring months, particularly mouse and steel gray. Charles X. pink is rapidly becoming, with absinthe green, the rival of the univer sal heliotrope, it is also known as old pink. The popular combination dresses promise to lie those of cashmere draped over silk skirts, as they are imported in great va riety. Chatelaines bid fair to lie in favor once more. Tiny “spico flasks” of Egyptian make are one of tlie ornaments for full dress occasions The polonaise, in both open and clouts! shapes, is steadily gaining favor, and is the prominent, feature of many distinguished, looking toilets. New under garments are made of very fine cambric, hand-embroidered in small de signs. such as trefoils, horse shoes, etc., in marine blue or red. Many of the newly imported French polo naises are cut with pompadour or heart shaped Is (dices, or in graduated points, this opening reaching from the throat to the belt in front. Mask veils with scalloped bonier* are brought in tulle of every color, and also in more subdantinl gauze or grenadine dotted w itli chenille, ami the edge marked by rows of dots quite close together. The newest bonnets are iu cap shapes, with longer crowns than anv lately worn, and these begin to show a tendency toward lowering the trimming, making them still high, yet not in the exaggerated heights of the past season. The prettiest spring hats for girls from 12 to 14 years of age have low crowno und broad brims, and can lie lient into almost any desired ships'. Ostrich feathers ore the favorite trimming, and a tali of them is sometimes used resting on u velvet band in side the brim. Very pretty turbans for young ladies’ wear have crowns of black lace, and the brims bio of jet and lit the head closely.

Unnoticed and Neglected, It Lies in the Busiest Section of Philadelphia. Front the New York World. Tim hare, blank walls of n very old bury ing ground are frowned down upon by the towering structures of manufacture and business that surround and hem them in in one of the busiest pam of Philadelphia. In side the burying ground walls ore trees planted by men who died from old age years ago.' Birds come nnd rear their wide moutlied families in this cool oasis in the great desert of throbbing city streets. One old man, bent and wrinkled, takes an oc casional walk over the scarcely discernible, grass-grown paths, and his are the only feet that tread tins silent: city of the dead. In the Areli street wall very near the cor ner an opening has been made. The bricks have been taken away fi >r a space of per haps a dozen feet. Through an iron fence which covers this opening one cun get a glimpse of the peaceful grounds within. That graveyard was made long years ago and the noisy city lias grown all about it, crowding it and jostling it, but never en croaching beyond its walls. From sun-upto midnight there is a constant hurrying of wagons and ears and human beings by this necropolis. Yet that grated opening has seldom a visitor, though there lies within a few feet of it the dust of a man whose pro found wisdom and humanity moved the whole civilized world. Not three blocks away stands a great in stitution bearing his name -an institution fostering all that is scientific and that lives to leam the hidden tilings of nature’s laws; that fosteis and encourages the genius of men and teaches industry and tbe value of solid learning. Less distant iu the opposite direction lies a great public square, one of those beneficial breathing spaces of the city’s pent-up -masses, bearing name. By its side there runs a long, wide street bearing his name. And all over the city there are mills and printing shops and factories and founderies bearing bis name, while oil over the State and the country there are towns and townships and counties also bearing his name. Yet there lie his hones down iu the heart of this big city, with arteries throb bing with the work and pleasures of men, beneath a thin stone slab, which grows greener and thinner year by year, obscured by the lightest snows of winter, the earliest grasses of summer and the first fall of autumn leaves. A singular end of a marvel ous man! I looked through the bars. With much craning of my neck and much pressing of mv face against the bars i made out this simple, last-fading inscription iu the thiu marble slab: Benjamin and Deborah Franklin. Benjamin Franklin, after many years spent abroad enlightening men, gaining fresh wisdom and laurels, came home to live in quiet retirement with his son-in-law, Col. Richard Bache, at the old mansion, which stood in a large park on Market street, near Fourth, this city. Shortly after that he wrote a friend: “I am now in the bosom of my family and find our four little prattlers, who cling “about the knees of tlieir grandpapa, afford me great pleasure. I am surrounded by my friends and have a good daughter and son in-law to take care of me. 1 have got into my niche, a very good bouse, which I built twenty-four years ago and out of which I have bean kept ever since by employments.” Franklin had a small printing press set up on one of the upper floors of the house, with which he amused himself many an hour by his experiments. But so busy a life was but destined to be prolonged in quietness. He had been settled but a short time when his life light went out on Saturday, April 17, 1790, when ho was nearly 75. Three days later, now nearly a hundred years ago, his remains Vere conveyed to the old Friends’ Burying Ground and “placed be side those of his w ife and the thin stone slab laid over them. There was mourning throughout this and other lands. Twenty thousand people crowded the streets around that old burying ground on the day of the funeral, and as the simple cortege passed over the few squares between the house and the grove bells throughout the city tolled and minute guns boomed mournfully. Clergymen of the city of all denominations, the Supreme Exe cutive Council of the State, of which Franklin had been president; the State Assembly, Judges of the Supreme Court, members of the bar, the officials of the city, printers anil their workmen, the Philosophi cal Society, the College of Physicians, the students and faculty of the Philadelphia College and many civic organizations' at tended the funeral. The pall-bearers were Gov. Thos. Mifflin, Chief Justice McKean. Thomas Willing, President of the Bank of North America; Mayor Samuel Powell, William Bingham and David Rittenhouse. Following the death and burial of Franklin cam© honors and eulogiums from every where. In Congress, Madison offered a resolution which said: “Benjamin Franklin was a citizen whose native genius was not more an ornament to human nature than his various exertions of it have been precious to science.” “Friends of Liberty” in France erected a mausoleum, but Franklin’s unhonored grave rests amid the turmoil and confusion of a great, busy city. NEWMAN IN HOT WATER. The Great Eulogist Disparages Dr. Huntley’s • Work, but the Ladies Won’t Have It. Front Waxhiwjton Letter lo the Baltimore American. The Rev. J. P. Newman has stirred up the wrath of a portion of his congregation, and they are now in open rebellion against him. Under tho pastorate of his prede cessor, Rev. Dr. Huntley, there was formed among the members of the church social or ganization called “The Wit more Club,” which has grow n until it now numbers be tween 800 and 10!) members. This club has met with bitter opposition from Dr. New man ever since lie lias lin.il charge of the Metropolitan church, and the mem 1 sirs of the club say that liis sole ground of opposi tion growsout "f the fact Umt it was started by Dr. Huntley.

The trustees sustained him and reported against the club. The next day Dr. New man again asked the ladies of the club to disband, whereupon one of them asked him iu effect what lie was going to do about it if they didn’t. The doctor, with that look of exaltation which only he himself knows how to assume, replied that the church would see about that. Last Tuesday evening a meet ing of the club was called, anti it was unani mously decided to leave the chmjch. A change in the constitution was then made and it became an entirely secular organiza tion, with no church connection. A hall was promptly tendered by a friend for their meetings, and so the doctor and his pet scheme for a lyceum are apparently left. All th" members who sang in the choir have lieen dismissed and notified that hereafter a quarter choir would take care of the sing ing. Judge Snell, of the Washington Police Court, who is a prominent member of the church, lias ranged himself alongside of the boys and girls of the club. Oue of Dr. New man’s inconsistencies has lieen that, while he strenuously opposed an entertainment •which the club proposed to have for the purpose of paying off a church debt, on the ground t liat it would be a desecration of the church he announced a series of lectures about his travels to be delivered in the church, the tickets to be 50c. each. He again surprised his young members by al lowing tlie use of the church to be used by the woman suffragists for their annual con vention, since the leuders of that political body are most of them pronounced free thinkers. Dr. Newman is away, and when he returns some new developments may be expected. GYPSY BOSSES THE HERD. Elephants Believe in Women’s Rights- A Chat with Elephant Bill. From the New York World. The big show over and thousands of rest lass feet shuffled noisily over the concrete pavement in the long walk that leads through the menagerie. A man with a city map in his hand would know he was on the South sido of Madison Square Garden, but to all appearances tlie throng of people and ani mals was in some vast stone-floored oasis in an African desert, where they hud midnight receptions, at which men and beasts chatted with one another, under the dazzle and sput tering of electric lights. Tbe shining black sea lions cried “Yawp! Yawp! Yawp!” in a beseeching way. and poked their black noses and spiky whiskers close to the bars of their cage, as if they expected to see their visitors take fish out of their pockets and stand treat, The crowd paid no heed to them. Neither did they waste time watching the giant polar bear in his never-ending effort to tie a knot in his long w hite neck. The lions and tigers blinked lazily and with much dignity received what little homage fell to them. When the pushing, shuffling crowd got to the middle of the long walk they halted. The elephants stood before them, twenty-six giants in a swaying row, and that was what the thousands eame to see. Each great gray beast leaned as far forward as he could, and held out his trunks as eagerly as ever a boodler thrust his hand to Billy Moloney. They wanted candy. All were tethered by a chain on the left hind leg to the stone wall, or they would have joined their visitors in the promenade, ana just as likely as not trod on a corn here and there. Big Fritz, twenty-six yearn old, with a hide like oak bark on his* massive frame, came in for much attention. William Newman, commonly called “Elephant Bill” because of his famil iarity with the tricky pachyderms, stood near by to keep the big fellows in order. “Just watch Fritz a while,” he said, “and you’ll see fun.” A Brooklyn citizen, with his wife and three small citizens, were in the front rank beside the rope which walls off humanity from elephants. They simply gazed their fill and never offered to treat. Fritz flour ished his trunk end pointed the end of it straight over then - shoulders. They looked and saw this Sign: ELEPHANTS LIKE PEANUTS. * * The whole family took the gentle hint and presently they stood in a row pelting peanuts at Fritz’s open mouth. They were not good shots, and, lifter a little time, Fritz gently, yet nimbly, snatched the bag, pea nuts anct all, from the smallest boy with Ills lissome trunk. He throw the whole thing into his mouth. Thereupon all threw down the peanuts in bulk as a tribute to Fritz’s greatness Mr. Newman pointed out the big difference between Indian and African elephants. “The Africans are the most timid,” he said, “and the hardest to train. The Indian and Ceylonese are handsomer beasts and learn tricks much quiekert lian Africans. Alice, Jumbo’s widow, is the only African we have. Which is our handsomest elephant ? Mandarin, by long odds. Jxiokat him.” Tlie reporter looked. Mandarin, although only o 0 years old, is about as largo as eighty John L. Bull!vans rolled into one. He hash fine black bang, which grows down the middle of his forehead. Also his ears and head are sjjotted with pinkish white patches like the color of the sacred elephant. “The doctors say it’s an unnatural color,” said Mr. Newman, “but it isn’t dangerous to touch. His skin is like velvet. Js he danger ous to handle? Oh, no; not when I’m around. Ho did pick up Prof. Doremus once and slam him through a wall, but he quit as soon as we shouted at him.” “Which of the herd is lioss ?” asked the reporter. ■‘Gypsy, by a largo majority. Once in a while, late m night, alie whales Fritz with her trunk like the dickens and butts him with her heavy head. Does he resent it i Not a Mt, He and all male elephants be lieve in women's rights. ‘By the way, Torn Thumb over yonder, the little trick elephant, is a wonder. Her ease is the only one on record where an elephant’s broken leg has beep set success fully. Jumbo lost nu life trying to snvi her. Do you know that Scott, Jumbo’s keeper, is still with the show: Nothing run induce him to go away, lie says he will stay hy Jumbo's Ik>nch as long as ho lives.” The crow and was thinning out now. One by one the electric light's stopp'd sputtering and the shadows spread thickly through the long room. Gray-coatod men tisik down the rojs s that hud kept the crowd at a safe distance., Then Tom Thumb was unbobblod. She trolled around Iron) one giant to another, chatting with funny little squeak’ and wav ing* of nor trunk. They all seemed glad to talk to lu r and hear the budget of goesipshe had I > spread. Only two lights wero left glowing now. They were mere specks in tii and i i.iiw', and out of the vast bulk of great dark I inns you eonhl make out only one or two noiselessly weaving strange figure.! w ith their trunks.
